I’m lucky to have worked on interesting technical projects at companies like Uber and FANG. My family really likes DC and we are thinking about moving there. I’m wondering if there are engineering positions in DC that would not be a step down in terms of salary or quality of project. 12 yr exp / TC 550
Not sure about comp for your YOE would be in DC but some good companies in the area are. Appian, MicroStrategy, F/G, Palantir, APT, and Capital One.
This guy would be taking a huge TC hit to work at C1
Yeah, it’ll be hard to match which is why I just wanted to list all the options I knew about
Salesforce, FB, Google, Microsoft, Amazon. All in northern VA
These are the only options. Palantir won’t pay that much. Maybe Shift will give you like 350, but not even sure if they’d go that high. I do know of someone who just got 600k from amazon in this area for L7. Places like cap1, appian, yext won’t come anywhere close I think.
All true. Keep in mind, getting near SV salary in Northern VA is awesome. Housing is relatively inexpensive
550K dang
So far as I can tell, these salaries are unheard of in the DC area. If you want to not lose $350+ TC, look into working remotely. Will Uber let you go remote?
They exist at FANGs in the DC area
What do I have to do to make half a million a year? Hit me up, I'm in the DC area.
Facebook, Google have DC offices and Amazon hq2
Thanks for the feedback. Also interested in opportunities that may be a bit more under the radar.
