Does hopping around to different companies help with career growth? I’ve seen friends who jump around, go from associate product manager to then hop to a new job 2 years later and they’re now seniors. Whereas, I’m not even close to that.

Yes. Most companies have figured out that most people have an irrationally extreme amount of job inertia and so they take advantage of this by treating existing employees terribly since they won’t leave. They do have to pay up to bring in new employees though. The way to beat the system is to hop jobs relatively frequently (every 1-3 years). Companies accept that job hoppers will beat their comp system, but accept that as a cost of doing business since they save so much more from shortchanging existing employees.

Yes, especially in your first 5 years. Staying at companies netted me 3-5% raises per year. Switching led to 25-30% jumps each time.

They’re also probably not at good tech companies with decent stock comp that appreciates over time, or they wouldn’t be giving that up every year.

Non FAANG tech (think salesforce, PayPal, Sqaure, etc.) proposed compensation for 2nd yr MBB EM - ~200 base, 40 bonus, 100k stock vesting over 4 years, sign on bonus 25. How would you rate this? Worth consideration?

In TC calculations, would you count 100K stocks or only 25 that vest in y1?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
