Thank you. So is that when you have competing offers?

I'm not saying that's wrong, maybe you know someone who got that offer, but it's certainly not the default. Maybe you could negotiate up to that but I strongly doubt it.

8 yoe is most likely going to be L5, which will be around 240-280k based on how well you interviewed. Unlikely you'll be upleveled to a L6

Im L5, 6YOE at 270k - and Im around the mid in the comp range and haven’t had very much stock appreciation, hope that helps as a benchmark

Going to interview at Square, could you please tell me how the interviews were ? Is it LC medium ? I can’t find much info anywhere. Thanks

Almost all of our questions are custom made. They are questions that we ask you to build something for us instead of reversing a linked list. There's some algorithms under the hood, but they're masked and hidden inside a problem.
