Success Story: How One Redditor Landed 5 SWE Offers

A Redditor shares their experience securing five mid-level Software Engineer offers from Box, Snap, Plaid, Stripe, and an AI startup, with total compensation (TC) ranging from $220K to $330K—averaging $265K. Here are the Key Takeaways you should care about.

Practice with Lower-Priority Companies. Apply to your least favorite companies first to gain interview practice and build confidence.

Target Big Companies Early. Larger companies often have slower interview processes and flexible start dates, giving you more room to negotiate or align timelines with other offers.

Apply in Batches. Send out applications in large batches to maximize your chances of receiving offers around the same time—this gives you more leverage when negotiating.

Leetcode grind til you drop. Unfortunately you have to grind Leetcode. Just focus on a little bit everyday. From many of these posts it seems like 250-350 problems solved should be enough to get you to a point where you can solve a medium LC problem in 20 minutes.

Lastly, OP shares to invest in yourself, if you can afford it. A $20 book, $60 course, $50 LinkedIn Premium, and $130 LeetCode subscription are small costs compared to landing a $300K job. Wise words indeed. Additionally investment gives you a competitive advantage because most candidates aren’t spending the money to get ahead.
