Any Slack SEs here? I’m in conversation with a Slack recruiter for an SE role. Curious how competitive the market is with Microsoft basically offering MS Teams for free and the pandemic starting to wind down. I see most cool startups have Slack and bigger enterprises have been getting swooped up by MS Teams because of cheaper pricing and not needing to buy Zoom. I personally like Slack more but how are current market conditions and how are y’all feeling? Slack Salesforce

If you have relevant experience in industry that will allow you to be an effective SE, at a minimum ask for what you’d make in your market. For example, if you’re a CPA looking to make the hop to an accounting software as an SE and You currently make $120k, you should make at least that. Starting SE salaries for people with relevant experience is often 120-140k OTE. If you truly have no work experience or relevant experience, then the ranges from other posts are reasonable.

Hmm, maybe 90-120k depending on city
May be a bit less than this at 70-90k? Or am I way off?
The lowest base we pay is just under $80k, with an OTE of just under $100k. This is in our lowest COL areas, for our least experienced SEs. This is for software sales (fintech), and does not include our significant equity grants.
That said, we need at least some relevant experience, even if it isn't SE experience. I hired 2 software engineers to be SEs this year, and they're doing great after about 6 months of training!
SEM1 still hiring? 😩
5 years of work experience prior to becoming SE.
Y1 as SE - 90K base
Y2, $100K base, 125K OTE
Feels p low…?
Aim for around 90k TC if you have 0 YOE.
