Explains why ABB recruiters have been filling my inbox with invites to interview.

Note they have a fucking ridiculous interview process of at least _6 rounds_. Absolutely bonkers.

I was tempted to go for it but fortunately have many other companies in my pipeline with much saner interview processes.

Good luck to whoever gets those positions. Seems they pay quite well, but the question is whether ABB push to expand will pay off and become self sustaining.




It looks like senior roles top out at $220k and staff at $250k, with another $10k or so in indirect financial benefits (401k matching, ESPP, etc). The pay is certainly enough to be well-off, but it's on par with what any random startup offers, so for the sort of person likely to qualify for an ABB position I'm not sure cash would be the motivating factor for choosing them over the other options.


where are you getting that info? ABB total comp per levels.fyi 449K for senior and 626 for staff. Their compensation is pretty competitive. I don't know any startup that offers that much that is also liquid comp.


I was going off the posted salary ranges on their website and ignoring stuff everyone has like decent healthcare and vacation. Do they have a bonus program or stock beyond the ESPP to make up the difference?


yeah, they have bonus program and RSUs that amounts to $200-400k a year. Same pay structure as all big tech companies.
