OP you did ask for a reality check 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s fair for the top tech companies (which there are a lot of)….and honestly it’s probably slightly below.

But median is probably closer to 200-250k, there’s a ton of SWE working at companies that don’t pay nearly as much.

200-250k is about right. They can earn more in stock options/equity but a lot of that is based on luck of whether it works out

Hi Fishes! I have had the Director round for the Senior Associate role Pwc AC under Digital Learning and Upskilling. I have 15 months of experience in the consulting division. How much should the salary be for this role? And, do I stand a chance at the firm?

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
