Need some advice here.I am a fullstack developer with 5 yoe in Angular and Python.My aim is to crack FAANG companies.Now I got an offer from HSBC in a credit risk model monitoring role using Python.It is close to a data engineer role.
My question is that will it be a good idea to shift from development role to a model monitoring role if I want to move to FAANG in the future even for an ML role?Or does FAANG not prefer people who are not in core development roles?Amazon Google Microsoft Adobe Citi Barclays Bank of America
See you all in...2021?
Something to ease your day 🤗

Bless you PMs.
Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer to work as an software sales representative (SDR) for IBMs Z systems. I'm coming as a sales engineer in the cloud security space. Can anyone advise me on whether Z systems are something worth going into? Also what do the growth opportunities look like at IBM? Is there opportunity for lateral movement onto other teams? Not too sure how I feel about working on mainframes (Z systems) but they keep pitching hybrid cloud to me. IBM

I make $203,000. I have a PhD and 5 years relevant experience. I work for a digital media company that is not FAANG. In my experience, starting salaries for entry level roles tend to be higher at a FAANG, but it seems to level out after a few years unless you move into Director and above roles. Those roles do tend to pay a lot more at FAANG if you don't end up in the spinning your wheels at mid-level club.
I actively avoid FAANG, personally. Interviews at Facebook and Apple left seriously bad tastes. A lot of ego and average talent. It's just a club for ivy league graduates to feel special. That environment and culture is not for me.
G4 nearly said it all. You made a sweeping statement that was on the whole untrue, based on your two experiences INTERVIEWING (not even working at) any of these companies. You then took those experiences at only two of the companies and implied it was the same at the others. Your examples were also so different from one another that they didn’t even qualify your own generalizations. I work at / worked for two, and the two I’ve experienced are totally different from one another in terms of culture... and oh by the way I went to a regular old state school. And if you aren’t weighting stock compensation working in tech you will always be under compensated. Just because it is paid to you in stock doesn’t mean you can’t roll it into any other investment. Investing (there are many kinds) = long term financial security. If your money isn’t growing when you aren’t using it, it is being wasted.
SE1 is right, FAANG pays more than most. Check out levels.fyi for more info on comp.
Can you get through leetcode? Sounds like L5 at google, total comp 350-400. About half of that will be in equity and you’d need to be in the bay so goodbye to owning a house unless you want to pay $2m for a 3 bed 1 bath ranch built in 1960 in a shitty school district.
$2M will get you a 3-4 bed, 2-3 baths single home on a 6-8k lot in pretty good school district in south Sunnyvale. Even bigger house (or lower cost) if you go with Campbell and immediate vicinity.
Much more than that, with bonus and stock.
Oh man, you’re in for a treat. Yes, FAANG can pay more and then some more. You can easily get in as E6 at Facebook and make north of 200k base/1M RSU/100k sign-on.
E6 base is closer to ~230
What they all said. I'm a little less experienced than you are and make just shy of $300K. Take my case with a grain of salt, however, since I joined AWS before COVID and a lot of my high comp is due to massive stock appreciation.
Also a word of caution, levels.fyi is only accurate for devs, not other functions like sales.
Yes, at FAANG in the software engineer ladder your TC can be 300-600k depending on level with your years of experience without even needing to be a manager. You won't find that in Boston however, so you might need to move out to the valley, Seattle, NYC, or DC/VA if Amazon.
FB has an office in Boston. Are the salaries lower there to adjust for CoL or something?
