Currently about to schedule an on-site for a senior SWE role at Slack but have not been told any comp numbers yet. I already have an offer in hand from another company that I’m keen on taking, but before I do I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of salary (base and equity) you can expect for Slack? There isn’t a ton of data on levels.fyi Basically would help me decide whether it’s even worth annoying the other company I have an offer from to wait 2 weeks for Slack or if I just call it now. Thanks! Tax: Current TC: ~$190k Potential new TC from company A’s offer: ~$380-400k

I’m not sure if Slack still has separate pay bands, but SMTS at SF is <300k. I doubt even LMTS can reach 380k without special approval. Why not share who company A is?
Sorry I’ve seen those terms but not familiar what’s SMTS and LMTS? Also any ideas what the breakdown between base and equity would be for those numbers? It’s a startup and don’t want to get identified while I am still in negotiating phase with them, but will happily share if/when I sign.
SF cap for SMTS is 350k. I've seen a few of these offers
Salesforce SMTS (senior SWE) can’t come close to 380-400k for 3.5 yoe. You’re better off joining Company A
Maybe they do mean slack senior (L5) which I think maps to Salesforce LMTS, but that would really be a stretch to get with only 3.5 yoe.
I’m almost certain it’s not going to happen. Even Salesforce doesn’t allow LMTS at 3.5yoe and even if it does, that number is unattainable unless you’re a prodigy and knocked the socks off in the interview
Smts max is 350k. Lmts can go till 450k. These are the bands in bay area.
Use levels.fyi to get a deeper insight into levels, its pretty helpful
Ok so are the bands the same between Slack and Salesforce? The position is specifically Slack
No way SF can do those numbers. What company is giving you that and is it all cash (base + bonus + liquid RSUS)? Since you said startup can you exclude equity and tell us what TC would be in that case?
True it’s a startup (although rather late stage) so RSUs are paper. Base range I was given is between ~220-240k
Can you dm me? Wonder which place

How many YOE?
3.5 YOE
I’m not sure you will get Senior at slack with only 3.5. Maybe times have changed. Is this slack senior (L5) or Salesforce SMTS (slack L4)?
