Should I wait promoting to senior before change companies? Should be senior in 1 or 2 years. I have seen MS senior down leveled to SDE II in google and Amazon. I feel I am very underpaid in MS. How about the chance that interview with SDE II but get senior offers? YOE: 6 / TC: 200k
Well, if you feel you are qualified to be a Senior now, then why not apply around and see if you get bites? If you do, congrats, you are now a senior with much better TC! If not, then wait for promo. It doesn’t seem to me like you have anything to lose by applying around, and potentially much to gain. So again: why not?
Can you elaborate that? If I got promoted to 63 and got a L5 offer, but new companies will only give me 250k? Which means I will not get a standard L5 after promotion.
TC 20 ? Typo ?
