i have been working for 140k feom past few years in to data warehousing and ETL INFORMATICA. what should i do to get a salary of 350 to 400k in product based companies .#tech #career #offer . i have almost 14 years experience in the field. willing to dedicate in learning for next 6 months to 1 year to prepare and apply and crack
I understand leetcode is all about jobs for coding folks ... informatica is a GUI based tool to perform data integration . how can I apply for FAANG companies while continuing in the same platform
You can look for Informatica jobs in FAANG companies, but that will most likely be in their IT division. And not in engineering. They wont be paying you 350k for an ETL job. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people that work in FAANG and don’t get those high salaries.
Agree with Roblox. If you want that kind of money you need to be a software engineer capable of system design and ownership of projects (and leetcoding of course for interviews). FAANG SWEs can be hired for complex specialties but it’s things like compilers or ML, not skills like GUI based ETL.
350k to 400k is going to be tough. Don’t go by all the FAANG offers you see around here. That’s not the norm and more of an exception, even in bay area. Is your 14 years of experience in some specialized field like ML, DL, Computer vision? Even if not specialized, do you have tons of experience in distributed systems? Because most of the web companies that do tend to pay those high salaries works a lot on distributed systems. At 14 years, just doing LC wont be enough. You ll be grilled on system design, and expected to know how to design large scale distributed systems. Reading about things is a good start, but that wont replace real experience. You ll be competing with candidates who are 3-5 years out of college, and have real experience in distributed systems. I think LC is a good start, but get your expectations right and try to first get into a right job.
Thank you very much for the insight. Very helpful. I am not in to distributed systems . But yes I got your point. Thanks again
I have made that switch personally. Feel free to DM me. I used to work in a middleware integration technology, and transitioned successfully into a high paying engineering job.
