Tools and infrastructure SWEs at the bigger companies get paid as much as regular SWEs
- ohwello 10y agoWithout giving away too much detail, I was switched from a "tools and infrastructure SWE" (quoting you, not the actual job title) to a regular SWE halfway through the interview process at a top company. The base salary stayed the same but the stock grant got a lot bigger and I was treated better in other ways. I also got a SWE offer from the other top company right before the change occurred, so these factors are entangled and I can't establish causality, but I feel the recruiter considered me higher priority as a standard SWE candidate and told me about the change like it was great news.
