Curious if people have insight into director or eng leadership comp at riot games. Sounds like there is no stock component, curious if it is competitive with other tech companies?
I like your id
They're unfortunately not really competitive with tech companies in the bay, which sucks because Santa Monica is not exactly a cheap place to live either. If Riot is anything like it was 2 years ago while I was there, they are sorely in need of good eng leadership, but imo there's no reason to work there over some other tech company unless you really like games.
Riot is a fun place to work if you like lol. People talk about fb kool-aid but fb has nothing on a game company. We played every day. Lore was discussed over lunch. But Great people. Sadly Pay is not like top tier tech companies.
I doubt they're competitive. A friend worked there a few years ago as a data engineer and literally doubled his salary after leaving. Maybe different for director but wouldn't hold my breath.
