I am in the final stage of the interview process with ByteDance/TikTok; I believe they plan to make me an offer as soon as next Friday and I am not sure what comp I should be asking for.

I am a SE2, have three years industry experience at Microsoft, and a fairly competitive resume vis-a-vis schooling and extracurricular projects (hackathons).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Still talking about schooling and extracurricular projects after alleged 3 year industry experience. WTF?

      As a recruiter, I'd like to see the hackathon stuff, shows curiosity and love for the sport. GPA makes you look like a new grad.

  • We are the most valuable pre-IPO tech company in the world. So, if you're the real deal, take whatever number you'd like to make and add 50%. If u think you didn't crush your interview loop (pay bands are calculated by interview score and yoe) adjust that % accordingly

      Pls explain β€˜and add 50%’. I didn’t find this to be the case at all. The package offered is much lower than anticipated and what I communicated as expectation to recruiter LAST SPRING. How many years experience is a 3-1 at BD? What is the equivalent to FB leveling - L6, M1?

    • I destroyed my loop and got about 40% higher than initial offer. Respectfully told recruitment how I arrived at my number and after deliberation they agreed that it made sense on both sides. YMMV!

    On a tangent here: How many rounds of interviews did you have? And what did the the entire process look like? Thanks!

  • I haven't heard any Chinese companies with great wlb. Let's hope it's an exception for bytedance. BTW, I am still banned in your product by saying Kim Jong Un is an idiot.
