Noticed Shopify salaries on Glassdoor are low; do they provide stock benefits or anything else to compensate?
Glassdoor salaries always seem to be low. Check levels.fyi
Shopify averages are low because of the high number of Canadian salaries including lots outside of Toronto. Remember pay in Canada is terrible compared to south of the border
yes base + rsu vested over 3 years, plus year refreshers. no bonuses
How do year refreshers work? Is it a % increase every year or can they also decrease it based on your performance?
Refreshers vary based on your impact rating and are 30-50% of your initial grant. You are eligible for refreshers if you have Positive (30%) or High Positive (50%) impact. As far as I know they happen on an annual basis and there is no cliff, you start vesting right away.
1) Glassdoor is often inaccurate regardless for tech 2) most Glassdoor data for Shopify is from Canada, where they pay significantly less than they do in America 3) compensation was refactored in late 2021 to be more competitive. All roles get equity.
Shopify salaries are among the lowest in the Canadian tech ecosystem. If salary is your top priority, go somewhere else
What do you consider as low? I got an offer for 190k CAD TC as Senior engr with 3 YOE, is that low compared to Canadian tech ecosystem?
New grads at Amazon are making this sort of salary in Canada
Comp sucks and the reality of growth and more competition means what was good to counterbalance that is now slowly evaporating as we try to sort shit out. This HR line of sorted comp out is just bs unless you live in Canada and previously worked for a bank or telco.
Very low. The caliber of their talent is also low.
Your claim that the caliber of their talent is low is based on?
My time at Shopify and the folks that I worked with while there.
