Had a recruiter reach out to me for a SDE1 position at their Frisco, TX office. I can’t really find much data for the Frisco office. My actual question really is can Redfin pay at least close to FANG considering the area. Anyone at Redfin that can chime in? 1 YOE Edit: I ended up getting an offer for Seattle. Base: 120k RSU: 100k over 4 years Sign on: 5k Relo: 2.5k I ended up not taking the offer.
Redfin doesn't even come close to matching FANG in Seattle or SF so I wouldn't expect them to in Texas. The whole point of opening a Texas office was to pay lower comp.
Really because levels.fyi for Seattle seems competitive with Amazon for new grad at least.
I only see one new grad offer there for Seattle and it looks fake. There is an SDE 2 offer on there for 7k less.
What ended up happening @ OP?
Have my onsite in two week, I’ll update the post on the results!
Op?
Where are you located now?
Southern California, outside of LA.
Texas has no state income tax. Frisco COL is still extremely low compared to CA. Payscales cost of living calculator says LA is about 30-40% higher than Frisco FWIW. I live about 15 min from Frisco.
