This was a typo, I meant to say just under 4 years!

114k > 350k 7 years

$75k > $550k 7 years (TC). Consulting to PE Ops.

Interviewing for another PE Ops job that would be meaningfully higher

Is there someone with a „normal“ increase? These numbers are insane

$78k to $300k TC in 6 years

~85k -> ~170k in 2 years out of college. Then switched careers. ~110k -> ~160k in the 18mo since then, with big increases every year most likely going forward

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Anyone able to help me with the levels at Meta/Facebook and related comp in the US?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
