Please read the full post to get the context!! So, I got the news today most probably I would get the promotion from Software Engineer ML to Senior Software Engineer ML soon. Since, I am not changing company, how much TC increase I can expect. Also, from your experience is it a good idea to push for higher TC during promotion. I am asking this because situation is different than usual promotion cycle. I am getting the promotion is because I got hired at lower level, so they making for it by promoting me in less than a year as promised. I did check levels.fyi and the average TC for senior software Engineer ML is around 350K and the highest is 390K. However, all of them have either changed the company or have higher YOE at LinkedIn. So, I am confused regarding how much can I push for TC. I know I sound greedy af, but I have an opportunity and I want to cash it. TC: 260K YOE: <1 year. Edit: I do have a PhD in ML #engineering #software #swe #machinelearningengineer
LinkedIn senior is L4 in something like Google. You can probably expect a 15% to 20% bump from an internal promotion.
Btw is it good idea to push for higher TC, given that I like my team and my manager and don't want to make things awkward between us
If you want market rate TC, it's always better to switch jobs. Asking for more is generally fine, but it won't result in much usually unless you have a higher offer in hand you disclose.
Senior is around 300k. Maybe 315k on the high end.
But that's much lower than what's posted on levels.fyi. Like below than average TC for Senior SWE ML.
OP, recall that MSFT stock appreciated a lot in the last few years, those are likely TC with appreciation which are much higher than the target
How did you get hired at a lower level if you have 1 yoe? Unless you have a phd?
Yeah I actually have PhD in ML.
Ah that might help if you add that to your post

if this doesnt say Linkedin level is inflated i dont know what does
Honestly, I am not sure. But people told it's usually takes 2 years to get promotion, so it's good incase i decide to change the job. I can apply for L6 or E5 later on. Just hoping TC increase is good 😅
@Twilio, op has a PhD
