Current TC 300K YoE 13 Role: Senior Software Engineer What’s the best plan to achieve higher TC in next 4 years. Targeting it before I reach 40 Which companies do you think can help me achieve this. WLB is not important. Money is king. #tech #apple #google #meta #netflix #nvidia #microsoft
Study hard. Build something important and clear interviews. Leetcode that’s all. Try FAANG. If you clear them you will get that TC.
I’m at Apple already. Just thinking faster progression and right companies to achieve it.
Getting IC6 at Meta and stacking a few refreshers or AE would get you on the lower end (assuming constant stock price). Though it takes a while to stack refreshers. IC7 at most fangs would get you there easily. Requires hard work and luck some luck though . If you want net income or NW gains - keep investing your salary as you’re moving up, the investments will help bridge the gap
It’s the Devin company lol
That's L7 TC and it's beyond reach for most engineers. About 10% can get to L6, only 1% get to L7. I am talking about consistent TC, not counting equity appreciation
How does only 1% get to L7 when 11% of Google on the tech side is l7+ lmao? Stop spreading fake news. It isn't easy for sure but not 1% odds....
My info is both that less than 11% of Google is L7+ and that this level inflation is being actively addressed by the layoffs and PIPs. All the L8+ Product Managers in my division were laid off early this year. Not that we needed almost 100 PMs for 1,000 engineers!
Extortion racket
Join Meta at $90.
Move into management
Get off Blind and make the company more money
Switching companies. I got a decent upgrade in TC each time I did a job hop. I wasn’t even planning on it, but the kept having companies cancel my projects so I went elsewhere when they reassigned me to stupid teams. Turned out for the best. TC trajectory from hopping (4 jobs, FAANG and next-tier large tech as well) $180k -> $300 over many years with refresher grants $375k $475 —> $900k for a while due to stock growth, then back down to $400 $700k Time at each company: 5 yrs (stayed longest, lowest TC growth. This was Google) 2 yrs 3 yrs 1 year so far
What companies do you suggest?
Get ICT6
Dude. In 4 years! lol
