Hi, I just joined the blind community and I m quite surprised with all the TC conversation i have seen through.
I m a data engineer with 3 YOE and honestly considered quite bright in my job.
I calculated my TC very closely just after i saw all the talks about TC here at blind.
I have 120k base salary with 10 k bonus and 30 k RSU and 20 k worth equity per year. And i m in east coast.
Is it too low ? I thought i was doing alright till i join blind and now I think i was probably just in bubble.
Should I really start applying just in FAaNG ? I would not necessarily like to live in west coast.
Any one leaving in east coast thinks that my TC is just ridiculously low ?
Just looking for advise! Thanks in advance everyone 👍

Remember buying a house out here costs $1mil easy, in the suburbs a good 45min away from the major companies. This includes little to no yard. Probably a hefty HOA, no basement, etc. commutes suck, there’s human shit everywhere.
You really have to think about your career, what’s important for you, what makes you happy and where do you want to be in your career 10, 20, 30 years from now.
