What was your salary trajectory? Where did you start and at what point did you start reaching the 200k+ to 300k+ range?



200k range is L4 at most big cos and mega unicorns. So 2.5 - 5 years exp. I studied chemical engineering in school, started at a bigger company, then small start up, then to Uber. Reached 300k this year w promo from L4 to L5.
