My first post in this Bowl. :)

I'm trying to understand what the SE compensation looks like, this days. 7 years ago (with solid +8yrs experience), I was at 90K base + 30K cap. Today I'm at 165k + 40k non-cap. Can you share where you were +5 years ago and now? #SharingIsCaring

$145k OTE, $246k OTE now.

Can you share your journey to your current TC?
I just made the transition from CSM to SE and make 160k OTE. I love the job and would love to grow in this field.

Wow! Are these US based salaries? Does anyone have insights in the UK?

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?
