Waiting to hear back from an application. Not on waitlist or anything but decision should be available in 2-3 weeks. I’ve already interviewed. Just found out that a family friend of mine was on the board for said school.

Is it worth asking for a rec letter to send as an “update” even though the decision is so soon? Guessing the answer would be “won’t hurt” but I was also planning on leveraging this as an opportunity for a potential re-application to show “improvement”

Reach out for the rec or at least ask for their advice on your app. Worse comes to worse they can always provide you with a rec when you reapply

Right - definitely going to reach out. The scenario that I’m debating is:

1 -I get rejected, with the additional recommendation, there isn’t a huge “progression” between my r3 application and r1 re-application.

2 - I get rejected without additional recommendation. For r1 re-application, I’m able to supplement this with an additional strong recommendation, thus showing some sort of additive change.

I’m almost positive I’m overthinking this either way

Hi everyone, I have a query related to CTC break-up offered for SDE 2 role at companies like Amazon, Paypal, etc. I can see on internet that it's upto 35 to 40 LPA. But I want to know what's the fixed, variable and share part in this CTC to get an idea of in-hand salary.
Overall idea to get a clue on how much fixed CTC should a SDE 2 get in a product based company.
This could be helpful in general for anyone applying in any company for a position like SDE 2, to get competitive in hand salary.
