a little above average company - Software Development Engineer (SDE) II F5 Employee Review

being from IIT and comparing with other friends, not too happy with what they're paying and they're already paying me to the upper limit of what they can afford for sde2, the only reason of my promotion to sde2 was also because I joined this at ~70% of my previous salary. joined it solely for the culture and wanted to have some good time. just to give an idea, my previous company salary was 26 fixed, and f5 started with ~23(17fixed and ~6 stocks/other benefits) and even after promotion with 30%, they're giving ~30(21 fixed and ~10 stocks/other). kinda like even after 3 year of experience, my total pay growth ~10%
