Google it. And on Blind we use it every time someone asks for TC. Itโ€™s a meme here, much like 5โ€™6 Indian and โ€œTC or GTFOโ€ are also popular memes / slangs here.

Software engineer 3? Probably 140-150 base plus 50k rsu for 3 years

YapStone Abcdef17 OP May 21, 2018

No senior swe

PayPal Ruchiko May 21, 2018

This is senior swe

People leave PayPal, why join?

YapStone Abcdef17 OP May 21, 2018

Any reason not to join?

PayPal Ruchiko May 21, 2018

Management sucks, cheap and greedy... this year our stock has grown, so they blocked all salary hikes and rsu refreshers... no subsidized food, no gifts etc itโ€™s not PayPal which we used to have 5 years back

Do you want to join Paypal?

YapStone Abcdef17 OP May 22, 2018

Depends on the offer

Amazon ISeeTrees May 22, 2018

But think about the opportunity cost.

PayPal codefi May 22, 2018

I would not recommend joining paypal as well it sucks !

YapStone Abcdef17 OP May 22, 2018

Coz of management or the work?

PayPal ltnr50 May 22, 2018

Part of both, but since the stock has shot up so much, it been messed up. They have no clear vision on what to do next !

PayPal Foodpanda May 22, 2018

Donโ€™t join. Pay less and management sucks to the core. They donโ€™t have a very big domain to innovate either .

Your experience at Paypal is heavily team specific. So don't just take words for granted from folks here. The pay is not as great as fang. If you are one of the top performers then it's a different thing. I would recommend Paypal if you don't have any good top tier company offers. (ie fb, amz, appl, ntflx, msft, goog, Airbnb, Uber, Dropbox).

I know itโ€™s team specific but overall there is no much invocation in Paypal . And everything is laid back and politics. I would agree only the PayPal API or site side teams do cool stuff but all other teams are full of old people and politics.

I enjoy working at Paypal , it mainly depends on the team you are in.. for senior it would be 150k base and 50k worth RSUs vest over 3 years

What can one expect with 8 yoe?

Braintree cLoK65 Dec 14, 2020

Shoot for 100k in initial RSU or more. The yearly RSU dump is relatively meager and your TC will actually decrease years 3+ on.

PayPal PeaceMan Jun 5, 2018

PayPal sucks overall. Pay is of course less. 150 for 5 years exp is less. Find another job you ll get much more than Paypal .
