IBM is no top-tier company but WLB is good and cash compensation is fine (don’t expect stock, it is what it is). If you’re leaving because of the downsizing and are interested in SWE/consulting/design roles, I’m happy to help. Blind tax: YOE 4 TC 185k (not HCOL)
You make IBM sound so appealing
Just don’t get old there. They layed off my father months before his 30 anniversary which would make him eligible for a full pension. https://lawstreetmedia.com/news/tech/tech-giants/ibm-receives-more-former-employee-age-discrimination-complaints/
How does this relates to the post ? Op is doing a great job referring people, and you already started posting shitty things
FYI age discrimination is a systemic issue in tech across the board, IBM just has a lot of them because it's an old company. FAANG companies would be in the same boat if they had a lot of older tech workers and revenue issues
185 with 4YOE not in HCOL, for example MCOL - Austin is great man that is band 9 salary you have to tell most of the guys how you did that…
Negotiation on the way in
Yes thanks, that makes sense.
Thanks! But isn’t it too low for 4 YOE? I’m only 3 YOE and 185 is only my base, does it have room for negotiation?
Depends where you live and what level, there are some internal bounds on base according to those two factors and past base I heard a small signing bonus is all they will give usually. Hence why stock is missing from TC numbers in levels.fyi
Happy to do this with Zillow folks in Seattle with Grab (rideshare and banking services in Southeast Asia). Our IPO is coming up and would love to have more people join our team. Comment or shoot me a DM.
185 is great for 4 YoE at IBM. Top tier B8
OP are you willing to help out non-Zillow employees?
