So, recently I applied for a product designer L2 role at a fortune 500 company. I had a friend inside who works for this company so through him I was able to find out salary bands and to my shock the base package for L2 role of Software Engineer is 175K but for product designer it is 110K.

I had no idea there is such a huge gap and disparity for two roles. I am actually considering going back into software engineering. What are your thoughts on such disparity in salary?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

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!
