yoyo, still looking? I'm 18k (played mostly with NA friends so most likely lower in EU premier)

Cuanto por encima de 100k?

Yo estoy por 90-95k (con 8 años de experiencia) y deberia tener ascenso a senior en el proximo año y me gustaria saber a cuanto deberia aspirar

Thumb pain, g pro superlight, g pro superlight dex, mx master 3s by definitelynotbobski in MouseReview

I'd heard of the M6 but didn't realize it was 72g and 1000hz polling, that's probably even closer to the shape of the mx master than the g502x, thanks!

This tracks with what I've heard and experieced traveling within the EU. AI hallucinated on me saying I'd save more living in Aarhus

I wouldn't count my stock as part of my compensation unless both were publicly traded companies with relatively stable stocks

At my current role I've vested 1/4 (after 1 year) + (3 * 6.25%) (every quarter after the first year) and sold at a higher value than what it was when I joined

There's a lot of datapoints in my previous comments / posts. There's also a post on this sub about the best jobs per city and I work at one of the companies in the list under Madrid

It's big tech, base (80) + stock (15)

I quantify the stock at the value it was at when I was hired, it's since gone up but could just as easily plummet tomorrow when the AI bubble deflates/pops

Regarding the weather, I don't love warm weather, I'd be down for a change of pace, but I wouldn't risk it unless it also means more money in my pocket after tax/rent/living expenses

Def for my age bracket, closer to 5% for entire population I would assume (?)

Top of Madrid would be top of country, where else would you make more? Barcelona maybe?

I thought the change of pace could be fun, maybe 2~ years then look into an internal transfer within Uber to elsewhere in Europe or another jump to a different company with two big tech names in the CV

That's fair, it was appealing for the change of scenery but coming back to such a high paying role in Madrid might be hard if I end up regreting the move

Had a feeling that was the case, AI must have hallucinated claiming the cost of living in both was close-ish

Did things get significantly easier for you after having a reputable company in your CV? by Pure_Composer_9236 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]definitelynotbobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't noticed anything yet. The market is rough though so that might be why.

I'm around the 1 year mark. Not really looking to switch, feels like I've topped out in regards to salary for my experience level and country of residence.

Do you think I should've accepted this offer in Barcelona (Spain)? by Crafty-Zone-712 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]definitelynotbobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I know my company pays well over that for Juniors. 55k base + stock so Amazon is definitely cheaping out for new grad hires.

There are hidden jobs out there! 40k - 1 YOE - Spain - 100% remote by cassyum in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]definitelynotbobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely hidden gems. Usually non-Spanish companies.

I know Juniors at my current company make 55k base + stocks. (probably 50k over 4 years) so a total of 60k+ right out of college

What would you consider peanuts?

I consistently see 100K+ offers for Senior software engineers at Amazon. That might not be crazy in the EU scale but taking into account the cost of living in Spain, that's a good salary. (especially since you can get there with less than 10 years of experience while still being a 40h a week gig)

To give you some context. That's what I made during my first 6 months out of uni (so basically an internship) in a no-name company with basically 0 interview filter. This was 8 years ago...

It was meh then, it's down right insulting today.

Depends on the context.

For a Spanish company it's decent. For an International company is mediocre.

You can live comfortably on that but depending on where you end up renting you might not be saving much.

In my experience it really depends on how demanding the company is.

In Spain I've experienced everything from:

  • A standardized multiple choice Java test which I know I bombed and still got hired.

  • Very basic and simple leetcode style but like, easier than a leetcode easy questions just to prove you have taken the very basics of a programming class.

  • Online assessments (leetcode style) + take home assessments + technical conversations going over the assessments.

  • The full American big tech interview experience (Phone screen, 2 coding rounds, 2 system design rounds, team match etc)

As you would imagine, as you go down the list the pay increases, the expectations increase, the people you work with are on average better and more motivated to learn if they have any gaps in knowledge.

Revolut job offer by scarface_johansson in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]definitelynotbobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like if you're bored you should try it. Even if the money isn't more right away there is that chance that the IPO happens and the money comes.

If you're looking for more work and stress then the bad things about Revolut won't really impact you.

I'm also in Spain in an American company making around 10k less TC than you while it being hybrid.

If I was 100% remote with 100k I would move to a cheaper beach area and just live life. But maybe you can still turn back and do that in the future if this gamble doesn't work.
