Senior engineer (L4/ICT4/L5/ICT5) Compensation at startups(Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat, Reddit, Square, Open Table, Lyft)

Before posting I did see search Blind but most information was outdated (12-18 months old) TC(base/bonus/RSUs) for Senior Engineer with over 5 years of experience. Uber pinterest snapchat lyft airbnb waymo opentable reddit Can anyone share their TC here. It'd be helpful for a lot of us who're trying to get to Blind standards ;)

Well, I did search before posting here but most of them were outdated except Lyft. I'm surprised because I didn't find the data related to lyft initially

^ that or paysa

Rubrik Cleaner Nov 28, 2017

Paysa is good for understanding where your offer negotiations should start at, I used it a lot to gauge the quality of my offers

I agree, Paysa is way off the scale.

Airbnb alconfused Nov 30, 2017

Is paysa lower or higher that what salaries should be?

Oracle faith07 OP Nov 30, 2017

It way lower than some of them reported here.

I don’t get why or how people are using paysa. Data Science / data engineering jobs in NYC are being listed at $110-120k base which seems ridiculously low. Those same jobs at lesser companies in Minneapolis are paying $150k base. Also how do you differentiate people with 0-2 years experience vs people with 10-12 years experience.

Where can I get 150k doing data science and buy a house every year?

Why do you think you're senior after 5 years? You'd have to crush our interview to get an L5 offer here.

Oracle faith07 OP Nov 30, 2017

May be I can answer this after a couple of months.

Is it possible to get L5 at Lyft with 4 years experience? I'm expecting an offer and recruiter said I got placed L4. I gave initial expectations of $180k, 20k RSU's and $40k signing when I assumes L5. After she told me L4 and ballparked 10k RSU's I countered $175k, 12k RSU's. She warned I may not get a signing bonus at all. Fair? She said she was meeting with the founders today or tomorrow to discuss. I think this is for DS Platform or maybe Dispatch.

Oracle senior is one level up from clg hire so obviously
