qhat posted:Maybe you're right, I wonder what an A-list company, say Amazon, pays an engineer in London. Let's have a look then: What are they issueing in RSU? I know in the US Amazon has a company-wide salary cap of like $175k, with RSUs and bonuses (in proportion and timing designed to maximize retention) making up an increasingly large amount of comp as you climb the ladder.

Emacs Headroom posted:What are they issueing in RSU? it's something like 165-170 in seattle, and around 180 in sf. less elsewhere in the country/world. an sde 1 is probably making around ~10-20% of their total income off RSUs, whereas an sde 2 is closer to 40% and sde 3 is 50+. from what i saw on glassdoor for seattle last time i looked, these ranges seem to include either pretty out of date info or people who only put in their salary.

hey folks i did this interview and liked the company. they asked me to do a coding test, which i usually decline because github. but it seemed neat, however, it's pretty obvious this is a real need for them and it took quite a long time to do. they also said of the test "you'll be doing 99% of your job before you even get hired" by doing the test. i've of course installed a bunch of my own packages in the app so if they try steal the code without hiring me i'll take remote control of their servers lol. should i ask to get paid for this though?

coding test _after_ the onsite is unusual. how long did it take you? is this a super small start up who's nervous about making a hire? i wouldn't ask for money, that would be super weird (and would have been something you negotiated -- like a "contract to hire" position -- before you agreed to do the coding test)

One company I interviewed at was really open to feedback on the interview and honestly even though I didn't get the job, I respected them a lot for it. The homework was way too thorough and I outright told them, and they honestly hadn't realised because at the end of the day it was based around their use cases which they are very familiar with and hence a bit blinded by their own experience.

so if a company offers feedback after a rejection then ghosts, should you follow up or just take the hint? hypothetically, if this same company also tried to call you on the wrong day for the interview, then changed the time a second time after confirming the original agreed upon time was confirmed, should you follow up? i normally don't write anything on glassdoor just use it for salary info but i'm sorely tempted to light them up, and maybe a happy medium is a terse "hi company, here's some feeback for you i'm mostly venting, i will continue never insinuating outside the space between my ears that any interviewer is anything but perfection because god forbid i be labeled that guy and even a polite but true glassdoor review can bite you in the rear end down the road
