Why are all of the jobs I’ve been applying to offering more than FAANG was offering me?
I’m young in my career so I don’t know how many things work. I’ve been mass applying lately and have had a lot of interviews and some offers. I’ve been getting offers from relatively small companies (Rover, BlockFi, RedFin) that are significantly higher than I make at Amazon, and more than my recent FB offer. Is this normal? If so, why does everyone try to get FAANG? TC 130k YOE 3.5 Business Intelligence / Data Engineering I’m not SWE/SDE
FAANG gets so many applicants that will accept a lowball offer just to have it on their resume that they could not care less about you not taking it.
Relying on that namebrand
What's the ballpark of these offers? Honestly, it's not what I see in blind. FANG people in blind will typically make 200k+
Base or TC? I thought anyone at FAANG beyond rank juniors was getting *significantly* more than 200k TC.
I’m not SWE
Is it paper stocks? Because that's how startups attract candidates by throwing paper stocks at candidates
The offers we refer to are for SWE. Your job is BI though
Need to see some numbers with breakdown.
prestige probably
