I have 12 YOE SWE. 160k TC. I work at a startup with no equity, and the company isn't meeting bonus goals and so I won't get bonus. My role is lead, but I hate it. I don't really code that much, most of my time is in planning, that gets ignored anyway. I was hired to lead a group of engineers, that used to do sprints, but stopped doing sprints because there were too many fires and a lot of the times the engineers just choose to do work outside sprints. I am not interested in trying to fix a dysfunctional organization. My manager is like, just go fix things you have my support, but it feels like a meaningless sentiment. Its either that or i just don't have the skillset to fix things. I would much prefer an IC role and I want to shoot for FAANG, because I never really tried to get into FAANG. However, I also wouldn't care if I down leveled, I might actually prefer that because the lead career path is not what I wan to do and its not what I am good at. I want to make more money. I feel like i am severely underpaid.
