Really? I'm shocked to hear this considering their successful IPO. Most engineers in SV get options and I would imagine those engineering options would be worth a lot 12-months post IPO.

- dwoot 6y agoAre the figures on Levels accurate? https://www.levels.fyi/company/Okta/salaries/Software-Engineer/ https://www.levels.fyi/company/Okta/salaries/Software-Engine... Seems fairly par for the course?
- skeeter2020 6y agoDon't know about the comp levels but the title / experience / pay seems totally whacky - a staff-level engineer with a total of 5-7 years of experience? IME this role is for very experienced ICs who don't move into management but are still key leaders. Has title inflation followed the general trends of post-secondary grade inflation?
- blaines 6y agoI have a couple friends who previously worked for Okta and they similarly lamented that the comp was shit and they treated folks poorly in the IPO process. For them, it wasn't worth it.
