I got an offer from LinkedIn for senior software engineer, 300k TC + 50k sign on .

Current TC 250k and yoe is 9.

Is this a massive downgrade in terms of level and lowball in terms of the offer?

    Amazon offers more than $600k. Give it a shot. I’m talking in Bay Area though.

    I want more people to leave Amazon and shit on Amazon so they finally increase TCs. They are not increasing it for internal employees though. Internal employees are still getting paid 🥜

  • Sr is just one level up from swe. Don’t come here for sr with 9 yoe. Try other companies, they will offer much better level

  • coming from Oracle, I think you would like LinkedIn sure it’s a downgrade in level, but you’ll have more room to grow and if you’re already performing at the next level then you can get promoted quicker but yeah 1-2 years seems like a dream.

  • It is a good offer for Senior SWE.

    A lot of people from Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, etc. will join at this level with similar YOE. The good ones usually get promoted within a couple of years and Senior to Staff is a big jump here. (Both in terms of role and compensation)
