Got a verbal pass from interview according to recruiter. Not sure what to expect TC wise or level wise. Current YOE 11 + Focused on backend systems. Interviewed for officially "Senior Software Engineer" which is a generic placeholder. Asked for min from the recruiter 350k (as in if it was 349k I'd immediately reject) so they probably know more likely at minimum would be 375k-400k before I'd consider it at all. Not sure if I'll get it or not (the TC I really desire 400k+) or I'd negotiate that in a second round. #offer #tc #paypal Current TC 275k
Most likely not going to happen with you but I had a verbal offer from PayPal last year. They were shortly then affected by layoffs and my offer got rescinded and I was asked to give the onsite again for a different team and got rejected! Make sure to get the offer before deciding on anything, especially during these times.
I'm in this boat 🤦♂️, haven't given second interview yet though
What T level are they offering you?
Don’t know yet just got the call from recruiter today that I passed the final round and he wanted a general idea of comp $$$
Unless you get a T27( sr MTS), won't be able to hit 400k mark T26( MTS2) can go upton 350k. Am a T26, TC= 330k Since you are coming from outside should be able to hit 350k
Is T27 that hard to get? Also any comment on WLB / WFH which is a huge benefit I get in my current job (never need to go to office + 6-8 weeks of vacation)
I would say it mostly depends on team but I wouldn't bet on a good WLB at any company if you make 400k+ TC and forget about 8 week vacation. This is true for any company if you making 350k+ Tc, there might be some exceptions. am a T26 and have 11 yoe. You might get T27 if you do extremely well in the interview . Post your offer once you have it
Is it in Austin or SF?
Senior Software Engineer must be T24 or at max T25. And it is next to impossible to get 350K for either of these levels. PayPal isn't like FAANG companies to pay so much But WLB is a lot better PS: I'm T-25 and making 250K and other T-25s I know are making 300K
What happened afterwards?
Any updates? I have to redo my interviews for a different team

What does “verbal pass” mean ? That they are going to give you an offer ?
Correct, apparently verbal offer incoming (initially) after recruiter deals with $$$
Congrats. What’s the breakdown ?
