Please don't regurgitate the desperate third world college student / your mom's perception of ((Tier 1)) companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc. π© I'm looking for the legit, no cap straight bussin, cream of the crop, world-is-my-oyster, maybe-worth-a-breakup list of Tier 1 companies. The very best in pay, no lowballers π°π€. The company that the best FAANGmans move to after a couple of years. TC: Microsoft x Canada = π₯^2 My list so far: Two Sigma Jane Street Netflix Brex Meta (don't laugh.) GitHub Stripe Airtable Figma Plaid Snap Roblox Coinbase (?) Robinhood Chime Nuro Waymo Snowflake Hudson River Trading Akuna Optiver Citadel Jump Trading Airbnb Edit - Demoted based on feedback: Splunk Databricks LinkedIn Flexport Instacart Dropbox Any more?
Albertsons
Confluent
Nuro, Flexport, Chime, Splunk? lol
Either money is top, or upside potential.
Have you considered adding eng quality to your criteria? OP is dumb. Factors in theoretical upside for start ups, and thinks Google and Apple pay less than Splunk given their refreshers and insane stock growth (even if they low balled you by 10% lol)
Hudson River Trading, RenTech, TGS
True, had HRT on my mind but forgot to type it down. RenTech is a tier of its own π
Rentech does not pay much more than other top companies for swe, no idea where this idea comes from that rentech for swe is good. For trader role, sure.
I heard WebXT is great π
Akuna (for SWE not trading) and Splunk suck
Noted. Almost left Splunk out of the list as I didn't have a good experience interviewing
You missed google. Your saltiness is showing though.
Google doesn't even bother matching competing offers these days. Honestly I don't even plan to apply there alongside the list that I posted.
It does, if you know how to negotiate. I got L4 with 2 YOE and Google beat all my offers
