Anyone gotten an offer lately? I hear they bumped their comp. What comp package does an average SDE level 2 or 3 (5-10 YOE if I understand their levels correctly) get these days?
- ddlutz 5y agoWithout firsthand knowledge, I heard SDE 2 can get up to 400k and SDE 3 can get 500-600k. Crazy.
- spike021 5y agoTwo years ago for SDE2 the first year comp was ~260k + 5% of RSU's at end of first year, second year was ~250k + 15% of RSU's. That's due to cash bonus (base was around 180k). 3rd and 4th years no bonus, but 40/40 RSU vests.
- pinewurst 5y agoI think people misunderstand this change. Previously it was up to $160K base + the rest stock/bonus. As the stock has been somewhat static lately, they've just rebalanced to more salary, less stock. The net is about the same assuming recent stock appreciation.
- Manuel_D 5y agoI got an offer for SDE2 in 2020 for ~$250K TC annually. First two years were mostly cash bonus (like 5, then 15% stock). The last 2 years had probably ~$160K base and stock worth about as much as the first year's bonus, maybe more. Is this meaningfully different nowadays for SD2? How does it stack against SDE3?
