Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website: Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.
I want to build my career in analytics. I have offer from EY India, EXL and LatentView Analytics.
EY is more on the side of project management and process improvement in SaaS, as told. While there is hands-on in other two.
If I don't consider pay, which company is the best to go for considering work and culture(peope friendly).
YoE: 5
Tech Stack: SQL, Python, Tableau, PowerBI
Hi all,
Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.
Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.
Thanks!

I’m an L6 SDM at Amazon but a Meta recruiter sent me an M2 sdm job description. I have all the XP I need from previous job experience but does Meta keep your same level as Amazon? Meaning if I am an L6 at Amazon am I automatically interviewing at M1 or can I jump to an M2?Amazon Facebook (Meta)

Well-qualified for any FAANG company
Direct experience in a role is likely more attractive to a hiring manager than just a degree. That said, I would suggest applying to roles where you demonstrate direct prior experience (i.e. roles you've already done) to move into a FAANG. Depending on the company, you will likely only be able to join laterally or a slightly less senior role (Google often does this)
+1, I think Google could be a good fit, they seem to hire a lot of different backgrounds/are good at building out teams with a varied set of skills
I'm a tech lead making 200k with no college, so I'm sure you can make a lot more if you find the right place.
That is fantastic and good for you!!
Your experience should more than compensate for your lack of degree.
College lol
Loll you laugh, but it is tough out there applying for jobs and getting rejected because of no college degree even if I'm well qualified for the role. It's painful sometimes especially when I know that I am significantly underpaid compared to my colleagues with less experience. 😕
Yup is never look at your degree or lack thereof.
Had a colleague mention recently in a "surprising fact about oneself" that he did not have one, nobody batted an eye.
Hiring right now for PMs and engineers have done over 50 interviews and this post made me laugh because I realized that I have not even once looked at what college was on a resume. Double checked, and it is like 50/50 for applicants on if they do. Makes zero difference to me and I spend probably 10-20 minutes on each resume before I interview a candidate. I am at a midsize startup.
I’ve been recruiting in tech for a while now and I can say that I rarely hear my hiring leaders require a degree for a coding heavy role…most cases it’s about tech stack and coding skills. That being said, if you are looking for a Data Science position, a lot of times my hiring leaders would ask for a Ph.D or double Masters in a STEM field. Product roles might need a degree depending on the company, industry etc…I hired a Staff and Principal level engineer at 180-250k base and don’t remember if the person had a degree…I typically ask if the person does but it wouldnt be a show stopper if they didn’t
I’m not a psychologist and wouldn’t mind being called an armchair therapist, but it seems like you just need more confidence. Emphasize your experience. You can tell them that you’d like to dive right into the workforce because you learn by doing.
Fwiw, I just recently went through a recruitment cycle at Microsoft and learned: Microsoft has very
purposefully stopped requiring a college degree as part of its selection process
