SWE at Post IPO in SF, Currently making (~150K Base) + (~200K from stock option proceeds at current stock price) + (~20K from RSU bonuses) = ~370K but will vary based on stock price fluctuations.
I got pretty lucky honestly. Joined a pre-IPO company at a good time so I ended up with a relatively low strike price. People I know who joined only a few months later make a fraction of what I do from their options because the valuation went up a lot shortly after I joined. Company went public 1 year after I joined.
