TC:500k, 2.5YOE, thank you Blind!!
I apologize for the click-bait title, but that’s how things work here. In 2019 and was super happy with my $150k TC as a new grad until i joined Blind. And you all know how it goes from there.. Came here to express my gratitude ✌️ Did money make me happier? No, i am as happy today as i was in 2019, just with better clothes, softer sheets and prouder asian parents. I still live with roommates who are friends since school. ============================== My TC progression (including stock appreciation🚀) 2019: 150k 2020: 180k Q1 2021 : 200k Q2 2021: 250k (moved to Robinhood, with a 310k offer ) Today: 500k
Congrats 😊
Happy for you OP! How did Blind help lol
So how did you join hood? Leetcode? Is hood all young crowd?
Some LC, most of it was domain knowledge. I’m not a traditional SWE. Yes, hood is fairly young. Very little boomer gang
By domain knowledge you mean fintech knowledge? What do you work as? I guessed it because I think they rejected me as I am 40+ though I did well in interview.
Lmao stock appreciation from today. 🚀🚀🚀
Great story! Mind providing a referral at Hood now ?
So you got a 310k offer
Yes.Edited for clarity.
What’s 500K then? Just click bait?
Stock appreciation
Did you apply thru open position on their site or a recruiter?
They reached out
So your tc is 310k?
Yes. Its a click bait. We all need social validation. Edited the post for clarity
Probably 500k today
