Was given a verbal yes from Grab and Zillow recently. what can I expect for swe principal level? Around 400k? I have 6 yoe (2 at Indeed, 4 in Fang). I know the base salary should be somewhere between 190-230k for both zillow and grab There isnt much data available on Grab offers, anyone with recent offer regardless of level please share current tc: ~300k
Yea, if you say "fang" then everybody know it's Amazon. Check levels.fyi
It was F/G
How and When does Zillow assign the RSUs? What ($ or number) is mentioned on the offer letter? At Msft for example, we sign the offer which say $100k worth of RSUs. The stock price on the 15th of next month is considered (ex $200) to allot you the number of RSUs (in this example 500).
Good to know. I will ask about this in the recruiter call
Zillow doesn’t do this. They do stock based on RSU count. The number of stocks mentioned in your offer is what you’ll get.
Bay area?
Seattle, as mentioned in the title :)
I got offered a job at both Grab and Zillow a bit over a year ago. Not super recent, but still. Total comp was about the same for both. I think Grab was a tad bit higher. But considering wlb, it seemed silly to take a slight bump for far more hours.
Can you share level and tc for both Zillow and grab?
Level was lowest level but borderline on leveling up. So not a new grad but not an SWE II. TC was around ~$200k. I had a lot of offers though, and kind of started a multi-way bidding war. So I don’t think what I got was the norm for my level. But you may be able to make similar things happen!
Do you wanna be a slave at the asian company? I have a few ex-colleagues who worked there. Each of them hates Grab. Now it’s even worse cuz the business is not doing well.
That's a great Grab offer, they usually low ball the hell out of people.
Grab can be all over the place. I have a friend they offered ~$300k base to. Unfortunately for them, he doesn’t value income very highly.
Awesome that you climbed to be a Principal in 6 yrs. Kudos, my man!
Haha thanks, I interviewed for principle, haven’t actually been one yet.
