cause I like sharing salaries: I make 130k with a 12.5% max bonus(although it’s gonna be like 8% this year because larger Corp didn’t do well, and I’ve only been here 6 months so it’ll be prorated.) I live in Baltimore so my CoL is _very_ low.

I got a promotion and raise about a week or so ago. plus side: more figgies bad side: now I gotta help interview a lot more. I don’t mind interviewing that much so it’s not a bad trade off.

I got a big bump in total comp leaving Apple because they are cheapskates, particularly in the annual raise department.

I took a slight pay cut in terms of COL moving to Apple with the assumption that having that on my resume will make me way more attractive for big figgy positions in a few years.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:that's normal that wasn't true for me at least going from nyc -> sf the sweet spot market is probably seattle. worst comp / CoL might be London In the US, places like Chicago, Austin, and Boston have medium / lower comp but average CoL. places like Raleigh have lower comp but make up for it in very low CoL. NYC has medium-high CoL (but is the center of the universe, and the only functional american city with things like universal pre-K and a real transit system), and medium-high comp unless you're in finance. SF has a high CoL and does not quality as a real functioning city, but the comp is the highest, and not just at FAANG companies

boston and chicago have very high cost of living. raleigh is close to the national average i think your sense of the costs may be skewed by having a ton of money and being a computer toucher in big cities

that might be true. there are other two advantages to being in big markets that I can think of: 1) if you can keep your costs of living the same as a proportion of your income, all things being equal it's better to be in a high comp / high CoL situation because while you're saving the same proportionately, you're saving more in total $$$ 2) having a highly competitive market means you can easily move between jobs and aren't stuck in a trainwreck. I know a few people in philly who are tearing their hair out working for Comcast, but since it's more or less the only game in town, they're stuck

Amazon caps everyone, but you can’t even hit the cap until you’re senior/principal because of the salary/rsu ratio. looking to buy this 900k place in Capitol Hill and knowing I still don’t have to touch like 60% of my income is p needs suiting though EDIT: first against the wall, etc. FamDav fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jan 16, 2018 |

I think I could probably make a dece 6.5 if I shopped around, but I like the people I work with and I'm the tech lead of a pretty important team doing some cool green field cloud stuff. If it wasn't for those two things I'd be hitting the books for interviews

FamDav posted:first against the wall, etc. i'm pretty far left politically (my goal would be "fully automated luxury space communism"), but since a lot of us are in uber capitalist america where the game is "try not to retire at 75 in debt eating catfood with your paltry social security benefits lol", you kinda have to shove money into a sack and be a little unapologetic about it i think. esp. if you've (like me) spent most of your 20s in school not accruing any kind of retirement savings. and if you (like me) got one or more kids. edit: its probably my socialist streak that compells me to tell people to post on glass door, and be radically transparent about salaries. everyone lets get more money from the VCs Emacs Headroom fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jan 16, 2018 |

I heard from someone who'd started there in 2016 that they let you dial in how much base vs equity you want But that said their P/E ratio is over 200 at the moment so I wouldn't personally pick equity lol

Things are going to get really interesting real soon. As for Netflix specifically, even with a historically optimistic P/E of 20, there's just no way Netflix can grow top-line 10x, even in theory. The crash will be fun and hard.
