Got a promotion to senior analyst today with new comp at 110k, but have an offer at FAANG for exactly the same salary (110k TC). This is already after a round of negotiations and mostly wondering if it’s worth to go laterally in terms of salary. Was really hoping for a pay increase. What would you do?

I’d recommend going to FAANG, it’ll pay off in the long run

like

Do you value compensation or having a big FAANG name on your resume? I value the latter, so I took a slight pay decrease to jump ship to FAANG personally. Play the long game!

If you’re not getting an increase, I’d stay for now and look elsewhere for that increase

like

That is a good point, but I have been interviewing for a while and keep striking out. I think the next highest increase I can get is to 126k late winter 2022.

FAANG with 0 hesitation as it will open many doors for future exit ops.

I’d leave

Why is FAANG so low? Anyway would still take it, seems weird though.

The offer is definitely a lowball but I can’t get them to increase the compensation more. I’ve tried all the tricks in the book

Don’t you mean MAANG?

Within FAANG, how would you rank difficulty to get an offer?

Amazon is probably easiest and google is hardest. I’ve probably interviewed at FAANG 10-20 times within this past year

like

Go for FAANG, it will open up future opportunities

What role at FAANG?

An analyst role with a marketing focus with analytics (sql, tableau, etc)

like

How do you get 110k as a senior analyst and how do you approach negotiations at Accenture?

Good to know, Congratulations!! I got SA and that’s significantly more than my base. Hope you decide what’s best for you :)

How many YOE? And what role? Thanks

3 YOE, analyst role with a marketing focus that’s data heavy (sql, tableau, etc)

Go to FAANG for the opportunities it’ll open up

Previously worked in Faang, definitely doesn’t open up as many doors on the non-tech (non-SWE) side as folks here are suggesting - you’ll probably find that your coworkers on the business side are a dime a dozen and are not getting poached. So what I mean to say is exit opportunities shouldn’t be a factor, you’ll have the same exits as you would if you stayed, with more in marketing. The larger factor here then is the culture and type of work - you’ll work ~40 hours a week (unless it’s Amazon), everybody is super nice, and if you’re interested in Marketing it could be the right move.
