Quarterly, with no 1 year cliff. Close enough to monthly it's not that bad thought.

I agree, the risk reward has to be there. But I don't interview at companies unless I really need to get in. If it were some lousy startup and I'm interviewing there it's because I…

Counterpoint, I botched a coding session at a FANG interview. They wanted me so they gave me a take home coding problem. I spent 40+ hours over three days banging it out. Got the j…

This is an alt specifically for discussing compensation because I know it elicits that reaction and I don't want that associated with my professional identity. I think discussing c…

I am very wary of making this about respect or the individuals in the company who didn't grant you better compensation. It's toxic for yourself and if other people find out you thi…

Currently switching jobs for a personal record 57% increase in total compensation. And I was NOT poorly compensated before. I was already in the 99th percentile for individual inco…

And yet every manager I have ever had asks me not to discuss salary with other co-workers to prevent them from getting jealous. Usually in the same discussion where they tell me I …

My finding has been the same. I got a match once. I would have been better off leaving to some place more promising. Early on in your career your current employer is almost invaria…

Individual contributor, Software Engineer. At Google the recruiter put me in the SRE/SWE track which I was skeptical of and communicated to them. I also communicated about the comp…

This is consistent with my experience. Was making 175k in a lower cost of living area. Google wanted to pay 190k and require relocation to Mountain View. Had an offer in hand from …

It's just the money. For a 30% raise there isn't a job I would stay at. It's fine by me for a company to be just one more 2 year step on the ladder. A bit of experience, a bit of p…

There is market rate and then there is market rate. Have you ever met a manager who didn't claim to pay market rate and pull out the old "salary data" yarn. Managers seem to think …

Another important aspect of compensation. When you negotiate compensation with new hire make sure to negotiate the salary you can retain them at not the lowest salary you can get t…

Most senior people I know are under paid and over worked. The lucky ones are just under paid.

If you messed up this bad your employer would fire you. Fire your employer. Don't make a stink. Get an offer and give notice. Discussions with management aren't going to do anythin…
