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?

Dear experienced people of grapevine please share your appraisal % you got so far along with company, number of people (to get an idea of company size), service/product based and your experience level 

How much % is okay, good, best ? (It could be subjective but let's try to answer honestly)

TIA!

The company did around 10-15% silent layoffs in the last cycle by putting people in PIP. 
My Manager told me that he has pressure on him to put at least 1 or 2 people in PIP, make them leave the company and reduce costs.

Later, the company did as low an appraisal as 2%.

Senior folks are leaving specifically Frontend Developers.

Salaries of a lot of SDE-2 are below 30 LPA.

They have started new positions called Product Developers which will do the same work as SDEs but with a lesser package. PD-1 salary is around 10-12 lakhs and of Lead PD is 20-22 lakhs.

The company is putting itself in a position where it wants people to leave on their own.

There are almost zero perks in the company. 
The team outing budget is a joke which is 2k INR per person per year. That is 500 rupees per person per quarter. 

Also making office mandatory from November.

Razorpay is too smart!

Good thing. Anyways their frontend devs and PMs were doing everything on Twitter except tech.

Came across a twitter post where a user says its impossible for tier 3 college folks to crack FAANG with freshers/low experience. 

How is the work culture at FAANG ??? Do you all get to work on the world changing products there ?

FAANG folks plz answer. 

Exception is amazon. Would like to know the rest all companies work culture.

Working in FAANG

That has made me seriously look at non-FAANG jobs. FAANG no longer pays the best and no longer is the best work culture, is something I am starting to realise the more I talk to my friends about it.

What do we think about the ongoing brutal layoffs at Google?

Product Manager

How do you like the work-life balance in FAANG. Is that something special or as regular IT companies.

Regarding work-life balance in FAANG

Team Lead

Offer : E4 175k pounds
Current: L4 56 Lakhs
YoE: 1 year 7 months

Here's what I have considered:

- Living in London is going to be costly, on an avg I'll be saving 1.2x of India.
- Meta London created a bad reputation for itself when last year it laid off people from India just 2 days after joining
- it's not worth it going from L4 to E4, I probably should switch only when getting a higher level or a big big pay bump (this is probably not a big pay bump considering the cost of living)
- I am not very good at making friends, and I have quite some friends here now... I don't just want to leave everything and be alone in a new city so far away from home.

- the only pro point I see is that..  it is London.

Do you think I should reconsider my decision?

I have decided to reject Meta London offer

Dude, take risk. I know staying in Google looks like safety net but You might not be able to do adventures stuff later in life. Moving to a new country, new food, new culture. You WILL meet new people. Those things can’t be bought.

With appraisal conversations round the corner, wanted to know the most absurb feedback you’ve received from your manager?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I compared many SDE vs data scientist/ engineer CTC which were public.

I can see data roles are paid less .

Is it true?
Many consider data roles as less coding(tech) roles. Why?

SDE's paid higher ?

Had a call with my cousin this weekend. Life has been very hectic lately so, I have been laying low for a while now. Anyway, my cousin reached out and he brought up something very interesting. He mentioned how the quality of new engineering grads at FAANG has been trending downwards over the last three or so years.

Technical competency aside, there is a weird behavioural shift wherein freshers have adopted job hopping every 2-3 years. He told me that there are zero engineers who stayed longer than 3 years at his org. 

I mean optimizing for pay is fine. The thing to really balance for is impact in the long run because at one point you would find it hard to scale beyond a Lead/EM role at an org. 

But the real thing is that the "FAANG" hype has started to die down amongst the 99th percentile of talent. I wonder how long will it take to have a trickle down effect to 80th percentile and so on.

Just to validate, I asked a friend for his opinion and he opined that "Bhai, tum FAANG mei naaukar ho ya kisi startup mei, ho toh naukar hi." Translation: "You can work at FAANG, or at a startup but you are still a servant(employee)"

Is the FAANG hype really dead?

Is the FAANG hype dead? 💀

Was there any faang hype among 99th percentile folks in the first place?? 
 I graduated from a tier-1 college, majority of my friends are from Similar colleges and if I look in my friend circle, most of the folks are working at high growth startups or something of their own.  
 Sorry to say but faang was never aspirational to begin with.  
 The target audience of youtuber bhaiya/didis were tier-2/3 folks and maybe this kind of hype exists among them.

Hike Graph is on a roller coaster ride since covid. With nothing certain about the Interest Rates & Inflation.

What is your company offering & What all factors they look at during the appraisal cycle ?

How much Hike are you getting this FY ?

What are the perks , how's job experience ?
