What does this mean on a real world level in NYC? Can anyone offer 350+ to 15+ YOE in NYC besides FAANG. 4 years ago I interviewed and failed 6/6 design and 4/6 leetcode (passed lyft and fb leetcode). 4 years ago I studied about 50-100 LC and did a design review class to get that far . I’m much better at design but couldn’t pass 5 hard LC. I’ve got a family and with work it’s a lot to do that much studying every day again. 4 years ago I could not get any 300+ offers
I'm working in sell side banks and $200k base is pretty much top for VP you'll see. Bonuses are not significant any more. The exception is if you're a strat with lots of market knowledge you could hit that 350 TC but you'd need lots of industry experience.
