Demand it in your base. Bonus is BS.

I would not leave for anything less than 100 in the bay. Demand is huge right now

Probably a bit high

Yes. But you should still demand

Hah yea right

Probably high but you shouldn't accept anything less (assuming you're jumping from public)

What's a realistic range then ?

Also curious about this. Does anyone in the Bay Area have any info about this?

I have only 2 years of public accounting experience, CPA and will be promoted to senior in 1 month. What type of position and title should i aim for? large publicly traded and large private or start up? Senior accountant?

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at
Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
