I am considering a move to Seattle to explore the city and potentially start afresh. I currently holds the position of Software Development Engineer SDE 2 in Amazon India and if I transitions to Amazon Seattle, I would again assume the role of SD Two. I am bit unsure whether this move would be beneficial for me. Should we opt for staying in India as an SDE 2 or relocating to Seattle as an SD?

SDE 2 in India or SDE 2 in Seattle US?

I am 2023 grad. I have joined a product based company. Next year, I want to join a good company like Rubrik, Uber, DE Shaw, Bloomberg etc. 

What should I learn? How to utilise this year to switch to a good company?

PS: For me, a good company means high salary and challenging work environment. I don't care about work life balance.

Quoting from The Ken (which btw I would highly recommend).

How many of you think this is true for Bangalore and problems that we are facing now with this generation.

+++++++++++++

Between 2020 and 2022, investors pumped billions of dollars into startups whose founders and leaders offered up the mythical “hypergrowth” narrative. Those startups, in turn, pumped money to hire and grow a layer of mid-level and senior-level executives whose job was to deliver on that hypergrowth narrative.

And salaries went through the roof. Hikes of 50% and above were par for the course.

Cut to the present.

If overvalued startups are widely recognised as a problem, can overvalued employees escape the same fate?

A CEO of a prominent company estimates that “in product and tech, 20-30% are in this category”. 



- Extract taken from Ken

Unhireable category of employees, how true is this?

CEO will always say employees are paid too much 
  
 Who exactly is recognising overvalued startups as a problem? Most are still trying to run the grift and were only hampered by interest rates lowering their runway. You can see how many are opening AI startups that have nothing to do with AI whatsoever, not to mention the number of Crypto / Web3 companies in our country. 
  
 Executive pay has always been the problem, take a look at any graph showing the skyrocketing ratio of Executive:Employee salary ratio, and for terrible decision making and management as a trend.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work for a Series A start-up in Bangalore. I have 5 YOE and my current base is 21 LPA and ~5L worth of ESOPs a year.

Seeing Grapevine salary charts, I feel I might be underpaid. Should I negotiate or look for other opportunities or is the base I am getting now alright?

Am I being underpaid for SDE 2?

Hey team, I'm looking for Job in SDE 2 level,

Current salary : 92L + 25L stock
Location: BLR, IN 

I got a call from google for L7 role (BLR) which is staff role in India afaik. HR mentioned Payrange: 2-3Cr

I get mixed reviews from people so asking again for BLR folks: 

1. Amount of focus on coding round vs system design?
2. Amount of leet code preparation?
3. In the interview Is the focus more on leadership or knowing deeper tech nuances? 
4. What’s the payrange I can get?
5. Is google L7 equivalent of amazon L6? Levels.fyi has split so not exactly sure. 

I am looking for responses from people who have actually gone through similar experiences rather than “I heard from my sources”.
