Young software engineer here, looking for a (preferably remote) job opportunity. Cut workflow by 50% as Executive Editor, managed end to end creation of several websites as lead web developer for startup, been programming since high school. Recently graduated from college and awarded top graduating CS student by faculty. Anyone able to give me a referral from Apple Microsoft Adobe Google, or know of a job opening with good WLB, benefits and competitive salary? DM me for more info.
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Levels.fyi should have enough info
How many yoe? Entry level at google is ~200k, l4 is around 300ish.
I’m curious myself. As a junior I make $75k doing cross platform react native dev
That’s not bad depending on where you live. In tier 2 cities I think it’s pretty common to start at about 60-65k doing the same thing
Depends on the country and city, here in Paris a junior iOS Swift developer starts at about 35-40k€, I feel like it’s pretty much underpaid.
That seems low to me. I started in ObjC iOS apps 12 years ago in Paris and I was paid 38k first year, then 45k second year. 5 years into it I was at 50-55k. And as I remember, those were pretty standard salaries for this specialty
Hard to know if you're underpaid without knowing loc, yoe, and current comp.
Well 3 of the companies you tagged are FAANG so they don't reflect the majority of companies in the market (obviously the TC in these companies will be way higher).
As a Senior IOS Engineer, I would presume you have skills such as setting up the project, configuring/building, developing, and deploying multiple IOS apps (especially to the Apple App Store) in addition to mentoring other developers and interacting with the business side of the team/company. Someone else mentioned this, but I would check different companies on Levels site, Glassdoor, etc to see what type of salaries they're offering (essentially doing your own market research).
