Software engineer salary at big-4/MBB? My role is 90% management now and it’s not something I enjoy or am good at. Current salary is 190k and was wondering if it is possible for similar money to code?

If you're in the DC/Richmond/Dallas/SF/NYC areas, you could check out Capital One. That comp is is in the pay band for SM/D level SWE positions there. They have an individual contributor track that goes up to SD for SWEs, I believe.

Thank you, I’m in NYC - I will check it out! Thank you. That salary was total compensation for what it’s worth

At Adobe, Senior Software engineers total comp gets to ~350k. However, being an engineer at a tech company compared to an engineer at a consulting firm is completely different I imagine. The engineers at Adobe and other tech companies are beyond amazing and a software engineering role is often the hardest role to get.

Feel the same way about tech. I like solutioning and building. I don’t mind managing but it’s not my strong suit. I’m more hands on.

Not a valued skill anymore. The only valued skilled in development is managing. It’s crazy, I was at KPMG at another member firm and the top developers were paid significantly more than their managers

Agree with BCG1–especially for coders. FB treats their coders like royalty, and they get the Comp to prove it.

FAANG would pay about that or more depending on experience. That salary range for big-4/MBB in Software Engineering is usually hands-off architecture type roles

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
