YOE: 1.5
Current TC: 120k
I am a career changer. Been working in engineering for 4.5 years, 1.5 as SWE.
I am looking for a new job and have heard from friends in the tech industry that 150k should be my floor for TC. Seems kind of hard to find though. Except at big tech or well known companies (FAANG, doordash, LinkedIn, Roblox, Airbnb, etc)
Am I being unrealistic? Or should I really only expect TC in that area from these well known tech companies?
Tons of companies looking for SWE but it seems like most don’t pay near 150 for entry level.

However, you can make it at a number of companies… even finance companies.
150 as a floor though? That’s an extremely out of touch stretch of a floor number. Like. EXTREMELY.
BTW, YoE doesn’t mean shit unless you’re a government employee. It’s what you know & how well you interview that matters.
