This was really insightful! Thanks for being so transparent Rahul

It's the best video out there, man. I remember you saying that a staff engineer is not evaluated by IQ but by work done and willingness to learn. It stricks me to these days.

Summary/Notes: 1. You need continuity to get to very senior levels 2. You don't need to be a genius to grow your career 3. Understand how equity works. Equity can give 3x more income than salary 🎉cool❤ transparency. Learnt alot. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 🇮🇳 🇺🇸
@tamasbalint1597
Thank you Rahul for this insightful video of yours. Truly the best I have watched about compensation. What I loved the most is how you still focused on career growth instead of "just" sharing the numbers. This is what we can all learn from. Looking forward to your live session.
@janailtongoncalvesdesouza4160
I think the most important part is: be happy for where you are. When you do that, you'll put the work and effort necessary to grow on that company and as a professional as well. Nice video! Congrats for your career!
@cody_codes_youtube
I love the transparency! These videos are very insightful, and I plan on making more as well. NEVER got to this level though! 😹

There's a lot that I ended up cutting from this video to keep it a reasonable length. Join me for a live session where I'll share more details and take questions: https://www.jointaro.com/event/how-rahuls-compensation-went-from-dollar400k-to-dollar800k-at-meta/

Rahul, You’re an inspiration. Thanks for in depth transparency. I’ve never seen someone to be this transparent, especially someone from South Asian community
@spencjon4822
Understanding what a performance review entails is super important. I've gotten screwed by a manager because I didn't track enough of my impact over the year and that shunted me down a level. Keep track of everything you do in a separate doc. It saved me from my managers's 'idea' of how I was doing and forced them to give me a higher rating because my manager had a Blindspot to all the work I do. Be proactive in your performance reviews, spend the mind numbing time to write the doc well. Most importantly, track your impact with proof.

This video is a gold mine of information for software engineers ❤
@divyangvaidya1999
So transparent. No arrogance even though he has a lot to be arrogant about. Good video. Could you also discuss resume and interview tips?
@imheretosleep
Remember guys, no matter how hard you try part of your success is “luck”. So don’t even bother thinking you can follow someone’s step and expects to be in the same position. Also, the environment is a major factor as well.
@deveshgarg8157
Listened for full but didn't understand the deep intricacies; but got very impressed and motivated by your salary slips and perf reviews.
@Meadejones
You worked at a company that rewarded your efforts. If a boss gives employees more work and the employee accepts, 99% just means more work and no pay. If you have the ability to get bonuses/pay increases/stock every quarter then you are in such a rare situation. People say "no" since we know there is no increase on any compensation.
@ItsMeIshir
Thank you for making this video and sharing the key takeaways. Truly amazing to see the career growth.
@melvin6228
The US FAANG salaries are so insane. I’m sure a staff engineer in London wouldn’t make the same amount
@natedavidoff668
Good on you man. I am surprised every time I hear someone successfully navigate the office politics of a company.
