TDP at Capital One TC?

Jul 8, 2021 13 Comments

Recruiter said the annual performance bonus is 3% to 6% of base salary. This seems really low? Is that it or is there more?? Is that multiplied by any number or no?

Do TDPs get an annual raise ???

How much do we get the raise upon promotion to Software Engineer?

    TDP is a great program with accelerated path..Don’t compare with FAANGMULA . That is standard bonus but usually TDPs are promoted in a year or year and half if they are good .

    • "Don't compare with the competition that has been shown to pay 50+% more starting for an equivalent position." What a horrid take, even if the career path is generally decent.

  • 10% for the promotion. There are also market raises to stay competitive. Last year got 6,000 for market raise. They just announced a 12% bump for high performers and 6% for the solid band which will go into effect this month. There is typically also performance/inflation based raises yearly - I’m not totally sure on the amount. Getting your first two promotions quickly is not too hard and that will take you over 145K base (at the current rates would be better for you as I’m sure there will be more market raises etc)

    • It's not that easy getting first two promotions--you have to be in the right place at the right time. If you're part of a team/group of teams that are poorly managed, it's going to be hard if not impossible.

  • Looking at bonus as a % of your salary is not a good way to look at it. The bonus is the same regardless of where you live. If you live in a high cost area you will get a higher salary but the bonus amount is the same. So it amounts to a lower percentage of your salary than someone who lives in a lower cost with a lower salary.

    Say your bonus is 10k

    If NYC salary is 150k then that is 6% of your salary

    If Richmond salary is 130k then that is 7.6% of your salary.

  • The bonus is really low and the annual raise is about 1-2% if you're not promoted.

    • The merit increase your first time is prorated based upon your start date. Historically merit increases range from 2-7% in my experience based on performance (without proration).
