FYI reply to my comment or update the post. 4 YOE can get you 250-300k TC. Aim for Google or Facebook.

I’m sde1 with 4 months of experience in nyc and I’m at 170, you’re way underpaid

My TC (NYC, SDE 2, 2.5 YOE) was 265k with a google competing offer

In Seattle the range for SDE2 is 182-242k. In premium markets like Bay Area/NYC it's something like 200k-280k. You are being underpaid for your role at the moment if you're making 165k.
