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 👍

  • Bay Area TC != east coast TC

    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.

    Note that blind audience who self reports their TC is biased towards people with high TC. Actual averages are lower.

  • Your TC seems fine especially for 3yoe. Most of these high TC are in bay area where there’s a premium on everything

    OP
    Exactly I thought that too, of course I wasn’t thinking that i m on top TCs in east coast but from other conversations its seemed like i was just stupid with such low TC. I read threads where just newbie graduates are getting 300 k TC ! It seems insane !
