Getting in FAANG

Need to compare my salary Fixed: 23LPA Experience: 5 years 4 months Backend Tech

Yoe: 2.5 Tech stack: React Native, React JS Current: 25 base Will Indian startups be willing to hire for this much base in current market? If yes, will the work life balance be absolute shit? I’m currently working at a startup, want to switch Please help a fellow SWE. Thanks 🙏

It is generally considered as when you join FAANG you are a software developer, with tags such as SDE I or II or III. But I've heard very little about analysts/data engineers/data scientists in these companies. I am a B.Tech final year student and I'll be joining a Data Analysis startup firm in June this year. So I wanted to know about my future opportunities in FAANG companies, I want to know if the salaries offered by these companies for such roles are similar to the Developer role and firstly do they provide opportunities for students coming from a background like mine?

AWS, K8s, Kafka, Standard DBs- Postgres, redis, etc. system design I’m a platform architect and working with a unicorn. I have been in this role for over 3 years and I am getting 60lpa right now. I have my review coming in soon and I have a feeling that I should get better package. I don’t have ESOP. What is the FAANG salary right now and what about other companies with reasonable funding?

I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year. Base 45 JB 2 Variable 12% And esops worth 30L over four years Role SDE 2 YOE 3.5 should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.

The FAANG and unicorn employee salaries for even 2-7 YOE engineers is quite insane compared to the average Indian employee pay in other sectors of the economy. The average SDE2 at these companies makes 50+ lakhs per year in compensation (not “CTC” but real money) The average SDE3 makes 80+ lakhs which is frankly insane. What are you guys doing with all that money?

Can people who have been at FAANG for 4-5+ years share what their salary progression has been like? I came to know recently about someone where the first year TC for a L5 position at Google was 1.54cr where the base was 60.5 lpa. Assuming one starts at 1.54cr (which in my mind is already quite inflated for someone with 8 year experience), what would their salary progression look like?

I have close to 14 years of experience mostly in development and solution architecture. Right now I am working in a top FMCG company for 3 years now and now I want to switch to technical product based company such as FAANG , Salesforce and so. I need some help/suggestions on how should I move forward for the preparation.rrwuest you guys to share your experiences as well
