Every other intermediate or higher engineer here apparently is a borderline millionaire or will be in a few years. They get talked about enough. What about those near the bottom of the food chain like me? 110 CAD, 4 yoe. In Toronto too so one of the highest col places in the world. Can anyone beat my trash TC? Underachievers, this topic is for you!

Why no one cares about the lives lost in Gaza, Israel and busy in their own lives?
YOE <2 TC: 78k usd
4 yoe isn’t that much
4 yoe living in Ireland 100k euros
100k euros for Ireland ain't that had, specially for 4 yoe. Congrats
Thanks ☺️ it's great but just checking US TCs hurts sometimes 😂
11 Yoe India 90k USD
Aerospace Engineer in Bay Area TC: $116k YOE: 3
what’s stopping you folks from getting the big bucks? anyone can get 300K+ with 4 yoe. work for high-margin internet companies that need to move fast. just do 100 LC, you’ll suck at first until you start noticing patterns. there’s literally nothing special about faang+ talent. tbh, most of them are pretty mediocre. tc 2.5-1.2m, 6 yoe
I’m asking because I really want to understand. I left a 300K tc job to do a startup making <100k because it was fun. I left that, got a 550k tc job and stock appreciated. With stock appreciation, refreshers, and appreciation, that’ll still be over a mill after the cliff. Otherwise change role. I’m nothing special. Just leetcode and do a bunch of interviews.
So basically because these sorts of TCs exist only in the US. Even fang in Europe doesn't pay that much and it's not easy to go to the US for certain nationalities. I am working at Microsoft for 100k euros TC like I said and going to Facebook in 4 months for like 40-50% more TC but that's still like 150k euros and Switzerland only has Google and they downleveled me 😅
If this is GEOTAB in Burlington, that's a very good TC. No Canadian company will ever pay you your worth for a multitude of reasons. <1 related yoe. 2 yoe total. TC: 140 CAD
I think I win this one :( 15+ yoe, currently a director driving the whole tech in a small-ish b2c company in SF (platform is pretty well known in a certain niche). no options, just 200k of cold cash. not getting shit for all the extra effort I’m putting in. obviously, looking to jump, even though I like the domain, the product, the tech and the people. * blind profile company is irrelevant.
Nah, on my current trajectory I have you beat.
I think I got this one cold. Infra architect , 16 YOE and 200k TC.
200k usd is like 240k cad. I still think I have you beat because even 11-12 years later at my current job, I do not forsee making that much.
So not in SWE ? I also don’t seem much improvement of TC over the years in my line of work although I like it.
