Counterexample: I was hired straight out of school at a big company 2 1/2 years ago, at slightly more than the author describes (100k and change salary, ~100k equity over four years, 15% bonus target). I've been promoted twice, and my income over the next year will hit the double mark for total compensation.
I've been promoted faster than most, but my numbers stretched over a 5 year timespan still work out.
- bigcothrowa 11y agoI think the important distinction is that the author claims to be discussing the low-end or at least middle, but your example is in fact significantly-better-than-average.
- thedufer 11y agoNo one's arguing that doubling in three years is average, but of people that get jobs at Google, doubling in five years seems very reasonable.
