and joining Amazon in August and he has CS from UC Berkeley . He says his base sakary is 150 K . He didn’t mention about RSUs and sign on bonus . The location is Washington and not even bay area . I was surprised . I know UC Berkeley is in top 5 CS schools . At 21 , making 150K base is really high . What will be the salary for a kid who does CS from San Jose Sate University or any second tier or third tier universities . Also how much FAANG pays for fresh undergrad CS students .
Welcome to the Internets, granpa!
Back to your room now. It's bedtime.
He was referring to base + max bonus and rounded up. Optimistic, that's what you are at 21
Same pay. Idc about school titles or prestige. All I care about is can you perform above the bar. SDE 1 TC should be around 150, not base so I'd review his offer letter He probably has a base around 115-120 and the remaining money is in bonus or stock.
You should be happy for your friend’s son and motivate him to leetcode 😀
He's jealous since its his friend's son
Sharmaji ka beta spotted!
Can I play the reverse card? "Papa see Sharma ji ka beta graduated from Berkeley.. mujhe nit kyun bheja?"
Yes base at amazon cant be 150 for sde1 In amazon base is capped at any level
I am from “unknown”-tier uni and my base is $140k. With stock + bonus -> $190k. 0 YoE So I don’t think school name means much here. Berkeley courses are rigorous and challenging, though.
Oracle?
Nice to know even Cisco pays high salaries .Hope this trend continues for next 15-20 years .
I think that would be total compensation and not base.
What's your TC at Nvidia?
The pay is not based on university.
