Just wondering what are the top paying IT companies in DFW. Amazon has it’s presence in Dallas but not as big as Austin. I have 7 years of experience as software engineer and noticed that the base pay sabre, Schwab, American Airlines, verizon etc in dfw offer is around 100-120k. One of my friend (full stack developer) recently accepted a senior staff position in Schwab with 13 years experience for a TC of 130k. I personally feel that’s very low. All you blinders can you shed some light on this and is this the norm in DFW? and any firms that are willing to pay big buck for the top talent?
There's capital one, Goldman Sachs, state farm, salesforce, and splunk in Dallas
Yeah TC is “low” but cost of living is also low comparatively. $4000/month in rent will get you a luxury penthouse apartment here, while it’ll get you a dated studio in the Bay Area.
This isn’t about comparing the cost of living to Bay Area even remotely. Other than the FAANG companies, I want to know what other firm pays well in DFW for SDE roles with a 7 year experience
Then don’t ask “is low comp the norm?” It’s not low comp in this area.
DFW is not a tech hub. Checkout Austin for better TC💰
Find a remote job while living in DFW. There’s tons. Should be easy to find $150K+ for SWE
Amazon has 1300 people in Dallas. Austin had right around 1800 people. Is it "as big" as Austin, not in the literal sense but its not insignificant either. There are a ton of SDE roles open in Dallas too.
I meant specifically for SDE roles.Thanks for clarifying though! Do you know what’s the pay scale like for SDE-II roles
Yes there are a ton of SDE roles open in Dallas right now.
