I make around 450k total. How much can I expect at other top companies? This is for SWE role. 15 yrs experience. Assume I won't get L6 at google or E6 at fb or L7 at Amazon. Just want to gauge the market before beginning the process. Just can't take this Verizon/Oath BS any more. Don't want Verizon 's name on my resume. Plus they won't pay as well after one year of acquisition closing.

    That is good money man. What is another 50 or 100 going to change? Life is more than this. Enjoy it, live it.

    Are you happy? If almost half a million isn't good enough, what will be?

      OP
      I'm happy for sure but my career prospects don't look good post acquisition. Hence this is kinda temporary. So far I've enjoyed my work at Yahoo but the good talent is leaving in hordes because people don't see a future in Verizon.

  • You should be able to get a high e5 package at Fb or google for high 300s total avg comp. Competing offers will help. With that kind of experience you should be able to beat expectations and get double bonus and refreshers so you might hit low 400s easily after some RSU growth.

    You could also push for an e6 offer. Expectations will be higher so a bit riskier on the job security front, at least at Facebook but with a good 15 yrs of solid experience it's probably fine.

    I got hired at e5 but I'll get e6 in a year but I have much less experience than you. Its been less stressful that way.

    With 15 yrs of experience you should make L6 at Google. if not initially after a couple of years. then comp will go to the 500-650 range. good luck!
