- b20000 4y agodefine a lot of money in my experience even for staff engineer or principal they want leetcode BS interviews regardless of what you think, for every engineer you can find an executive or marketing person better compensated.
- fdgsdfogijq 4y ago300k-600k is basically all leetcode on the marketing topic yeah, but for SWE you dont need a good school/social skills/a ton of experience. you just need raw algorithmic skills
- b20000 4y agothat is not a lot of money in california but rather what you need to have a normal lifestyle, be able to buy a house and put kids in school. to be a good SWE you do need experience, a CS degree, coding skills, social skills, creativity, and more. lots of things leetcode doesn’t measure.
- fdgsdfogijq 4y agoYou are correct, life is expensive. Making 400k is still better than most though. But I still hold, you just need leetcode. They dont measure anything else, aside from system design, which is similar in its need to be memorized.
- b20000 4y agoyeah, that explains why a lot of software made in FAANG is shit and why google scraps products constantly.
- fdgsdfogijq 4y agookay now it sounds like you just have a bone to pick haha. all software is bad, FAANG is much better than most
