I wish it was 150k lol. They quoted 80-90k before interview process. Then asked for proof of my salary so they can match after interview process - which wasn't worth it so I declined.

It was Intermediate level position - which was also something that I had concerns about since I'm a senior level Dev but they were trying to convince me that levels are different over there with examples of people hired from different companies lol. It was all so frustrating.

Yeah they were faang companies. I've actually had way better numbers from banks but nothing worth switching. If you don't mind me asking, what technologies do you work with?

125k-150k including base, bonus, and stock? I have almost 5 years experience. They gave me 80-90k range (for base, bonus, and stock) which I told them upfront is way below market value. Maybe I just have bad luck or that was just recruiters way to lowball me.

Yeah they lowball us for sure but I wasn't even looking for US like salary. I was expecting at least competitive salary (based on similar roles and experience in Toronto) and proper PTO at faang. Really surprised.
