Hey everyone, I have been interviewing for frontend eng role with slack india. I am expecting a HR call for salary expectations. Curious what is the salary bracket? Current base 31.5 LPA RSU 26 LPA (because of stock appreciation) Bonus 5.5 LPA YoE 5
What is your TC in USD?
67 lpa inr, which is 91k USD.
91k usd in India??
Mostly they won't be able to meet this Uber TC. Slack has been remote for a while now. Which is a signal for frugality. BTW, just to be clear, 1.2 Cr is your unvested RSUs over 4 years right? I don't think anyone gets 1.2 Cr RSU in a year.
Yes.. sorry for confusion its over 4 years
Don't have insight on India salaries, but Slack only went remote during the pandemic. Before that, the only people who were remote (other than like 10 people from the early days) were Sales people with customers in a territory where Slack didn't have a physical office. Other than that, they were very insistent on being in a regular office, and even had specific teams working in specific locations (for instance a Pune engineer couldn't work on something the SF eng team handled, and an SF engineer would have to move to NYC if they wanted to work with the engineering team there).
You Interviewed for Senior role right? If so, base can vary from 35 to 45 LPA (that's the range for senior here but they can go higher if you negotiate) Bonus is 15% of base In terms of RSUs, you should get around 45k USD vesting for 4 years (again this is rough figure and negotiate is possible) Also let me know if you get offer. Happy to chat more :) All the best!
I was under the same impression that I was getting interviewed for senior role.(didn't ask it initially 🤦) but then offer came I realized it was not the case. Asked if they can take few more rounds to consider me for senior role. But it didn't work out
Oh. So you Interviewed for just software engineer role? How did that go? Did you get offer?
OP did you get an offer?
Yes, I did get an offer of base 29 and stocks 75k usd (for 4 years). Ended up passing it this time since it was very low.

High performers, how often do you have slack off days?

Architecture round mostly discussed about how would you go about building light version of slack. 2. Behavior round with staff software eng. 3. Hiring manager round.
