SDE 2 making $250k a year in Austin. 6 YOE. Companies to move to for higher pay and good work

I wanna stay in Austin (preferably) and switch companies. Couldn't get through Google. Looking for companies to move to that pays more in Austin Please suggest a few companies. I have 6 years of experience Staying in Austin is not a mandate but preferred I'm thinking of Linked In, Uber and Netflix but none of these are in Austin Expectations: 1. Austin location 2. TC more than $300k including stocks 3. Big companies I know it might not be possible to find a perfect company with above restrictions. lets say location is flexible

How many yoe?

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

6 years of experience

Have you tried apple?

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

nope. apple has very bad work culture from what I heard. i also think apple doesn't have tech positions in Austin. correct me if I'm wrong

Homeaway 🤔w May 24, 2019

Apple has tech positions but it's largely in IS&T

Certain startups may pay you that much for Sr. Or architect

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

I'd like to make more than $300k. otherwise I dont see the need to change

Have you tried Dropbox?

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

Does dropbox pay more in Austin. Do they have tech roles in Austin. Keep suggesting. I'll add all suggestions to my post :)

Dropbox has very limited SWE in Austin last I heard. Like >10 SWE.

Indeed?

Homeaway 🤔w May 24, 2019

I don't think indeed pays this well

ViaSat jqijan May 24, 2019

How about Homeaway? I think Indeed can match OP current comp with that YOE but yeah...300k is really hard to get in Austin.

Salesforce lololl May 24, 2019

300k for 6 yoe in Austin is a stretch

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

Generic question... how much hike can I expect when switching companies. let's say same location

Equifax aka FB May 24, 2019

They may ask you to take a hike.

Homeaway 🤔w May 24, 2019

You consider remote?

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

meaning?

Homeaway 🤔w May 24, 2019

Work from home office

Dude, you’re making a lot for Austin and Amazon is one of the best companies to work for in the Area. Donno what to tell ya

Amazon rendezvous OP May 24, 2019

maybe a location change could be good, right?

Microsoft YuGiOh May 24, 2019

Not really, you'll make more but also COL is much higher. You're in an optimized position as is, it just doesn't get much better

I wonder how soon the real estate prices in Austin will reach SF prices.
