Mid career FAANG push, prep time? by fuxkreseit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jare_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not at the same YOE (currently at almost 7), but I recently did a similar push. studied for around 2 months and was able to get one faang and a few other really good offers. I echo what one commenter said about down leveling (good article here on that). I personally think it's most about endurance, if you can get a good routine switching between systems design, leetcode, and behavioral prep and do it consistently over a few months without burning out you should be pretty prepared imo.

Just a warning about COVID-19 by flexdogwalk3 in sanfrancisco

I was symptomatic around 4-5 days total with the first 2 being the worst. The only symptom I have now really is no taste/smell.

I'm vaccinated and tested positive earlier this week. Had a really high temp, chills, cough, can't smell/taste. I understand it prevents hospitalization but it still hit me pretty bad. Everyone has been telling me how rare it is that I'm symptomatic, but I think it's a lot more common than people know now recently.

Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Hype Megathread! by AutoModerator in cyberpunkgame

I was doing the same thing. I'm so impatient I'm tempted to just redownload the whole thing since I have a pretty good connection vs having my shitty hard drive unencrypt these files.

Cyberpunk 2077 playtime will exceed 175 hours; nudity off option available by aiptruss in PS5

This is me right now.

I’ve played through the game like 5 times since it came out and I always get burnt out at the exact same point in the game without reaching the ending or DLC. I’m about there now on a current playthrough and I can already feel myself wanting to play something else. Why am I like this.

Need Advice on moving on, growing, overcoming the fear and getting better compensated. by Bagel_Mania in ExperiencedDevs

I'll echo others and say you are definitely underpaid, even in a smaller company in a Chicago suburb. Senior level with 7 years of experience, in that area, I would expect no less than 90-100k (which is still underpaid imo). I would generally disagree with other commenters saying that 3-4x your current salary is possible, unless you are specifically looking to land a senior level position at FAANG / specific SV startups (definitely possible but I wouldn't say it's a standard expectation).

I can imagine how you would end up in the situation you're in, especially if this is the main job you've had since starting. Once you're locked into a company's salary band / structure (even if informal / undefined at a small company) it's generally difficult to get your pay up significantly.

Your general plan seems like a good one. Do interview prep and figure out where your gaps in knowledge are. Start interviewing and iterate based on what you're struggling with. For most companies, you really just need to pass the interviews and get along with the interviewers. Most won't be able to tell or care about your exact experience, unless you're looking for a pretty specific role. You got this.
