I am a Software Engineer since last 1.5 years. I received an interview invite for SRE role at Yelp London. While I like Unix, Python scripting to automate tasks, I am not really keen on DevOps stuff like deploying applications using Docker/Kubernetes. Also, I think that taking up role of SRE will hamper my chances of getting into top Tech companies as SWE in future. I have another offer as a SWE in London at an Investment Bank, but the offer is kinda low (base - £ 55,000). Can Yelp significantly beat this offer? So, I am wondering if it is worth going through the interview process for SRE role at Yelp.. Any thoughts? #london #yelp #sre

Enraged that kids prefer KPop to Bollywood. Installed cams in their rooms.
Yelp has PaaSTA to deploy applications using Docker/Kubernetes. As SRE you mostly will write Python code to do such kind of automation instead of doing that manually.
Nice, that's encouraging. I'll mostly go through the interview process. Any ideas about the salaries in London?
As for most of the companies, by multiplying the valley's TCs from levers.fyi to the 0.7 CA->LON coefficient you should get a rough approximation of the TCs at London.
Yelp will be similar, prob a bit higher, on base. They will prob give around 25k USD stock/yr too and relocation if required, prob a smaller bonus than you’d get at a bank though
Thank you! Any idea about SRE roles at Yelp?
No unfortunately, but I doubt it would be different than swe
