Senior Engineer position. Recruiter said they can get TC to 330 and getting me details soon. (L5 equivelent they said) I know I can get more at FB/G/LinkedIn/etc but looking for somewhere fun and not more than 40 hours/week. current 295 TC, 5.5 YOE for those at spotify NY, how do you like it and what are your thoughts.
Isnt spotify a downgrade from uber
Why do you say that? And definitely could be career wise. But I’m not looking to optimize perfectly, rather im looking to enjoy my life more than work hard
Spotify is a feature ...no? I always thought that if YouTube music really really wanted ..they could kill them rather quickly.
Please post your TC offer when recruiter gets back to you. Either my co-workers and I are severley underpaid or the recruiter is lying to you. Spotify TC doesn't come close to that number unless you joined way earlier at an amazing strike price, even at the senior level. That said, if you do get 330 TC offer I would come and coast here instantly. Most teams in NYC over index on almost too good of a work life balance and you can easily get by here at 30-35 hours a week. Culture is super relaxed and things move slow but as long as you're okay with that then it's pretty nice to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Maybe they are lying. But they said they can match my Uber TC and I was pretty explicit. What is standard for L5 equivalent?
The ones i see on levels fyi for senior is around early 200k. Btw if you wanna coast you can do Google corp eng also. Can get away working 30 hours per week with 1-2 wfh days lol
I’d be surprised if TC is accurate.. It’s very chill. Especially if most of your team is in Stockholm. Expect nothing to be done in the summer months. Way too dependent on face time though. Tons of meetings and very little WFH.
330 TC! There are entire squads that collectively don’t make that much here.
Did you end up getting an offer OP? I am also curious about that TC. A recruiter told me 250k range for eng manager NYC which was surprisinging low to me.
