Saw in a thread that a 3YOE BA managed to land a 275k TC offer, while I heard Ascs/even EMs can’t get/get lower offers than that, why is that? I thought big tech care a lot about YoE

Likely, one of the 3 reasons:
1. The BA has a very attractive and straightforward background (e.g., CS/data analytics degree from Stanford + exclusively tech/AI advisory at the firm, or at least experience positioned as such; maybe some short stint in tech pre-McKinsey). They must also be able to sell themselves super well - mad respect.
2. Humble bragging, i.e., overstated comp. May be the case if stock options are valued aggressively and/or if the bonus is an equivalent of a 5 performance rating.
3. Extreme luck - or blatant lie.

thanks M1! I see interviewing as a skill to be developed over a career vs one offs each recruiting cycle. there’s definitely a strong match in content. and thank you for the kind words!

One more option, actually: super aggressive AI startup with 996+ working style and crazy young founders having a bias for young age/ambition over experience. Mercor comes to mind, as they claim $300k+ TC potential, assuming ib-level bonus as % of salary.

Even in this case, I’d guess the comp includes stock or significant degree of uncertainty around the bonus.
