150k? Not in Silicon Valley. My base is 200k and my friend just got a job with a $300k base, but he's on the principal architect level. With bonuses and stock comp, we make a lot more.
- rubicon33 9y agoYea, sure. I highly doubt you or your friend make that salary without some special niche knowledge. Even a PHD, perhaps.
- pfarnsworth 9y agoYou would be wrong. I am a regular backend coder. I'm good though, but most of my coworkers make around the same as me. My friend is very talented which is why he makes that much. He has an unrelated MSc (he's from India), but he's a principal engineer. The point is 150k is not a barrier whatsoever, at least in Silicon Valley.
