Hello, I’ll be joining an SAP company soon. It’ll be a T2 position in the Bay Area. How often do salary raise happen? And when they do by how much?
Take any other offer expect SAP. They offered me 105k TC at T2 Bay Area. Salary raises are once a year and they do it for your TC. You’ll usually get between 1.5-2% increase on base and a little on bonus. You can try to negotiate but they don’t budge very much unless you have a masters
105k tc in the Bay Area? Are you kidding me? That’s poverty level pay by a company that is a market leader in enterprise software.
SAP takes the average of a bunch of random companies for a role and determines a TC based off that in a very strange salary band system. It’s clear they aren’t using companies that are actually worth a damn. And the skill set you build here is incredibly outdated that you’ll need to leetcode for a year to catch up to others. Management is also absolute dogshit and has changed scope to M&A instead of actually innovating.
What is the tech stack at SAP ?
Been at SAP for two years. Joined as a T2 Data Scientist. - Got a salary raise 3 times (as RSU and Base Salary). Total raise on the base pay was around 8k while raise on RSU was 18k to be vested in 3 years (6k/year) - I ve got 2 progressions (T2.1 to T2.3) and might get promoted to T3 by end of the year - Make sure you talk to the team you joining to know about their tech stack and if you will be learning new things. Some teams are still on some old tech and practice (not recommended). Things can get boring if you don’t push yourself to be creative - Recent reorg left several teams as a mess including mine -> am exploring my way out
Do not come here!
There's usually a cutoff date where if you join after you aren't eligible for a raise or bonus that year. But the cutoff is usually something like 2 or 3 months before the end if the fiscal year. And in any case, you should expect a prorated raise/bonus if you were only there half the year. So if the average COL raise was 2% you'd probably expect 1%. So not 0%, but close to it.
