dukemirageWhat’s L5 and L6? What’s TC?
L5 and L6 is a label for career progression, like getting promoted from staff to senior, just with different words. TC is total compensation.
Yeah, typically per year. And usually it’s called Total Compensation because some of it is in salary, some in stock, some in stock options, sometimes even some kinds of perks, etc.
So all of that gets balled up into Total Compensation, which is different than annual salary
$550,000 a year as a software developer. That’s insane money. You could buy a luxurious house in the city CASH after saving for two years with that salary, where I live. Including other expenses. They are making 3x my salary as a software developer.
Amazon throws money at people with niche skill sets.
They were paying engineers with experience with SELinux and CDS developers nearly 500k the past few years.
Insanity
Tbf selinux tends to be a hell of a black box. Anytime my shit doesn’t work and I can’t explain why, I default to blaming selinux and hit up IT. Seems like I’m right about half the time lol
It’s open source - literally the opposite of black box.
You’re talking implementation. I’m talking practice.
Yes, selinux is open source, I can look up the documentation, etc.
But since I’m not IT it isn’t my job to manage selinux - from my perspective it’s just something that rears it’s head when there’s a policy I didn’t know about that interferes with me running my stuff.
