I got very good initial feedback. The recruiter said I'm a strong L6. I'm in the Seattle area. Will square match a 450TC offer? YOE At AMZN: 3.5 years YOE in the industry: 10+ TC for April 2022 - April 2023 as SDE2 - 200K #square
450-500
What is your datapoint? Do you have colleagues at Square? Did you work there? I'm curious.
I got a verbal offer from square but role was shit and I had already accepted salesforce .. Fyi it was for Sr manager which might pay a tiny bit more than L6 Base 202k Equity 690K/4 Turns out that’s 375K .. for some reason I thought it was higher / fb below me is probably correct :
Square is cheap. I was told that I had to believe in their wonderful potential, and go to FAANG for money. Can’t imagine them matching that. My offer was about $350K for L6 in Bay Area
Square pays less than peers. Don’t expect them to beat the top paying companies
Why so long at Amazon with such low level and TC? Looks like down-leveled at hire and no promo? L6 is a lot more scope then L5 at Amazon - that's like 2 level increase right?
Green card issue and was not low leveled. I keep writing on Blind - YOE means nothing after a few years if your experience is sh*t. At least they gave me SD2, Google was not willing to downlevel (I got to the hiring committee for L5 in 2017).
I'm leading cross-team projects at Amazon from time to time, and even cross orgs, promo process with all the documentation is horrible. I might don't rule out returning there one day, but I do understand that I cant deal with promo work, this is also a problem I have with Google.
Ask 600 or walk away
Haha
Well someone posted a 491k offer from Square the other day. Never seen an L6 offer that high but who knows.
Where? 491k seems high from what I’ve seen
Someone posted it here on Blind. Can’t seem to find it now though.
Thank you very much all, if you have more data points, feel free to share. If I work as 100% remote in the greater Seattle area, it might even save me some commute time. The other company works at a Hybrid mode, similar's to Amazon (actually they will return to office in 2022)
I believe seattle is 10% less than bay for square so if top is 490 then u can hope for 450 at best
Seattle, SF bay and NYC are at the same level of pay at Square
They'll match
My l6 offer at sq: 225/250/50
Same here. This seems to be the max offer for L6. Yes, $250K RSU per year.
are you currently sde2 or sde3?
SDE2
