- delecti 10y agoThey mentioned Uber/FB/Google, none of whom are really in the embedded systems game (Google maybe to a lesser extent).
- maverick_iceman 10y agoAs in entry level.
- damnfinecoffee 10y agoWhere are you living where entry level software engineer salaries are north of 200k? I'm in the bay area and base salaries for software engineering with a bachelor's degree range from 90-115k from what I've seen (generally with some stock options and bonus potential added on top but I've never met anyone who's come even close to 200k starting out)
- stale2002 10y agoHe's talking about Google and Uber. Those definitely pay around that much.
- xyzzy_plugh 10y agoIn total compensation, sure. But base salary that high is unlikely. Consider also that Uber isn't public, so the non-salary comp isn't worth anything yet.
- askafriend 10y agoHe's talking about total comp, not just base salary. If you're looking at total comp, there's many many late stage unicorns and large public companies that have comp packages north of $200k for entry level engineers straight out of college. I've seen comp packages for many of these companies.
