L5 Google engineers are getting $800k RSU packages over 4 years. Netflix pays their senior engineers > $400k/yr straight cash. I have a friend with 8 years experience getting $200k/yr base at Facebook and 125k/yr in RSUs.
Sure, exactly 50% of the engineers in SF make below average salaries, but the top 50% are doing phenomenally well.

- pfarnsworth 9y agoThey are also one of the largest employers in the Bay Area, with tens of thousands of engineers in total. So they represent quite a large number of engineers and large percentage of Bay Area employment. Plus LinkedIn, Apple, Amazon, etc all strive to have equitable pay as well. It's not just 1% of the engineers that make this.
