pretty good offer for 6yoe, id recommend joining since WLB is bad for a lot of high growth companies. And this will look really good on your resume. Congrats

Got quick promotions while at Zepto. I was a Staff already there within 1 year of joining and interviewed for Senior Staff at Angel One

Every company has their own hierarchy. Meta recruits staff at 10yoe, while some Indian companies recruit as principal at 7yoe.

I feel you could negotiate better considering SDE2 goes upto 95, did you not get any joining bonus?

ZestyBiscuit

For what 95 ? Per year?

PrancingRaccoon
PrancingRaccoon

Yes 95 per year, with base going upto 55, rest joining bonus and stocks (stocks are backloaded so even if you don’t get any hikes or refreshers your TC would be constant for 4 years)

Is getting 70% hike normal? How much did you ask for and did you have any counter offers?

SwirlyCupcake
SwirlyCupcake

The hike is calculated on base. RSU is given as per company policy. In this case, the hike is around 12%.

I am sharing resources that would help with interviews

  • For HLD, refer to the grokking HLD pdfs
  • For LLD, focus on layered / onion architecture and learn how to clearly mention use of solid and design principles
  • For DSA, it depends on the interviewer but Leetcode 75 and 100 problem series fovers 80% of the cases
  • Search for Amazon LP and write your Worl summaries bases on those
