Zalando Berlin Offer
#zalando #zalandooffer #offer What could be the best TC by Zalando in Berlin for 10-12yrs experience? Do Zalando offer RSU?
No RSU, bonus. Salary depends on level. For C7, it could be around 75 to 85. I received an offer last month.
Isn't that super low? I know EU pay scale is lower, but even then this seems low.
That's high for Berlin, the highest you would get in Zalando for C7
I was 4 yoe and received an offer of 68k. Honestly, I felt it was peanuts after taxes etc
For 4 yoe I would say that is very good in Berlin.
I was expecting much more I guess , 75-80K . I had an Agoda offer as well which was quite good. I was not focussed on any particular city.
EU has different social packages and laws compare to US. 75..85 is good in Berlin. Also you have 6 weeks paid vacation, no limit for sick days (100% paid if you are sick and 67% paid if you care about your sick kids (for sick kid care is 10 days per year for each parent (and maybe per kid, sorry, I don't remember)). Some companies offer other additional perks
As far as I’m aware, Zalando don’t pay very well, so 75-85k that’s been suggested sounds reasonable. The average Berlin startup pays shit. To get a good salary in Berlin, your best bet are international companies such as Amazon, Google, RedHat or Gitlab.
Don't say RedHat and "good salary" in the same sentence
A recruiter reached out to me for a principal pm role. What would be TC for that ?
They restructured the product department titles etc last year so hard to find data on the new titles. Think Principal Product Manager should mirror what they used to call a Product Owner, which Glassdoor has at around 95k base. I might be wrong here though.
From what I've heard 95k base sounds right for high-end.
Glassdoor info is generally incorrect
Totally agreed, I was fooled by those average salaries and I'm still suffering the consequences. Initially HR trying to fool you if you are coming outside EU and they say, they help in every possible way. But the reality is, they don't even care if you have a place to sleep. I didn't even have a place to have a shower, I had to go to the gym because I could have a shower. Some people even suggested showering places that are in the central station which are generally for street beggers. THIS IS THE REALITY, NOBODY CARES!
Is the HR indian by any chance?
You would probably get Senior (80k). Absolute best case scenario would be principal, which I guess is 90-95k (high-end). No RSU, and I haven't heard anything about a bonus.
Any idea what's the next role after principle?
After that it's a different set of roles. There's head, director, VP, etc. But to be honest, principal could be a reach already. You don't get an option to get in as head. And I understand most of those positions are german people (not sure to what %, but it's pretty high).
