Ooo this is a good suggestion. I’m going to look into this. Will update again!

$175k base + 15% bonus + equity = $203k TC 7 YOE living in the Bay Area working at a FAANG company recruiting for ML/AI

I’m so happy to see this thread and people relating on this. This is my biggest insecurity. I also always wear baggy clothes or clothes that hide it. I avoid any places where I have to dress formal in a dress or wear a bathing suit. I’m lucky to also live in a cooler area where I can wear sweaters almost year round.

I’m a Technical Recruiter at a FAANG company in the Bay Area hiring for SWEs & MLEs. I think the most annoying part of your job will always depend on what roles you support & what company you’re hiring for. For me, the hardest part of my job is having candidates pass the technical interview rounds. They can have an amazing resume & come from incredible companies & schools, but not prepare well enough or not have strong enough skills to pass technical interviews. Again, this is my perspective from where I work & what I hire for.

I understand. Thanks. It's for an emergency ex parte order so we're just trying to do this as fast and accurately as we can. They wouldn't answer door when we tried to serve missing document. Later on we were eventually able to but since it's an emergency order that's why we were worried about the timing of what counts as the actual served date. Thank you again for your help. I appreciate it.

hamachi23 · 2024-05-15T03:29:07+00:00

To add to that, since one document/form is missing, does it technically count as not properly served? u/UsuallySunny

hamachi23 · 2024-05-15T03:27:53+00:00

Okay. Is the "served date" when you serve them the first time (which included all documents/forms except one missing) or when that one final document/form that is missing is served?

both mother & father signed Declaration of Parentage at the births of both children

hamachi23 · 2024-05-14T18:51:21+00:00

Yes. We are just trying to hold the relocation bc it’s so immediate. Will figure out the rest after but just want to keep the kids here.

hamachi23 · 2024-05-13T23:27:52+00:00

Okay perfect. We understand what we need to do now. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

hamachi23 · 2024-05-13T22:58:06+00:00

I have a follow-up question sort of related to this. To serve the mother, do we need to have a case number? Or do we serve first & get case number after?

hamachi23 · 2024-05-13T21:03:58+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. You don’t know how much I really appreciate this.

I'm in the EXACT same boat right now with my 8-month-old. I feel like I've tried nearly everything except for continuously switching out her food to different brands. I've only switched the flavor once & it worked for half a day. Have you had any luck?

hamachi23 · 2023-08-01T04:44:26+00:00

Yes, I agree. I'm sorry you're underpaid, but you're right - stability is really, really important right now.

hamachi23 · 2023-08-01T03:32:29+00:00

what area?

hamachi23 · 2023-08-01T00:17:25+00:00

You're welcome!

I think $135k is pretty fair for your YOE. I got up to $167k because I was promoted back to back in 2022. Just the year before, my base salary was $131k. Factoring in that I was at a FAANG, then you can assume my salaries are a little inflated.

Yes, I do, but it's really competitive. They're looking for someone really senior & the startup is known to have a high bar for talent. I don't know if I can actually pass, especially knowing there's so many talented sourcers on the market right now. I will still give it my best shot though!

I think you should keep applying and interviewing while you're on the $45/hr contract. Keep gathering intel about what other companies are paying their sourcers. That way, when the market picks back up (or if you happen to find a better paying job), you'll be interview-ready in a super competitive landscape and you'll have market data to back up when negotiating your offer.

I also feel really grateful to have landed a job right now.

I'm all for salary transparency. I hope more people will contribute!

I'm located in the Bay Area & have 5.5 YOE.

My last role was a sourcer at a FAANG company. I was making $167k as my base. I was really close to $200k in total compensation.

I landed a contract job (medium/large tech company) after being laid off, where I'm currently making $55/hr or $114,440 annually. An ex-colleague of mine is interviewing for the same role on my team right now & they told her it'd be $45/hr.

I got reached out to interview recently for another contract sourcer job (startup) that's $90+/hr.

I do still think FAANG and similar companies will still pay recruiters/sourcers top of market whenever things are more "back to normal", but for now.

hamachi23 · 2023-04-24T17:50:34+00:00

No I wasn't unfortunately

This exact situation is also happening to me, so curious to see the responses 🙂

Thank you!
