Anyone heard of Truvvo? Small firm in NYC
Hi guys, good day,
As a software engineer 2, my current pay is 17.5L base + 5% variable. I have stocks worth 6500$ and other benefits.
YOE: 3+ years
I wanted to try companies which pays 30L base minimum. How much does Amazon offers for SDE2 and SDE3 role?
Is there any other companies I can try considering my expectations?
Language Skills: C/C++, Java, Python
Thanks in advance

I used to be shy, but as I grew older gained more confidence and now I run large programs, leading a meeting or professional relationships are not an issue anymore but still suck at small talk.
Same. I don't think small talk will ever be easy for an introvert.
This question definitely spoke to me. I feel like you really do not have to be extrovert to be a manager or leader. You just have to be comfortable in your own skin and be confident about what you bring to the table. Trust me, I’ve been in your exact same position thinking the exact same thing, but as you get more experience/confidence in your chosen field, you will flourish. Don’t stray away from lead or manager opportunities because you will realize it is not about being an extrovert. Cheers and good luck!
I think you just gotta get the reps
Great advice above. FWIW when asking clients (and internal leaders) for feedback, I consistently get praise for speaking substance and brutal assessment, vs fluff. Do good work (including positioning yourself as a competent expert to client) and the rest will follow.
Embrace the uncertainty! I took on these challenges in a controlled environment where i had the experience and knowledge to feel safe, because i knew what i was talking about. That way I started to build more confidence and now I present in front of management boards (always still with a bit of a weak stomach though 😅)
Yes definitely and zoom calls back to back can feel especially more draining for the introvert brain.
