For top paying companies (goog/fb/netflix/uber...), here are the total compensation ranges i derived from various Blind threads:
3. (entry level) software engineer : $175k-$225k
4. (experienced or phd) software engineer : $225k-$300k
5. senior software engineer: $300k-$400k
6. staff software engineer/engineering manager: $400k-$550k
7. senior staff software engineer/senior engineering manager: $550k-$750k
8. principal engineer/engineering director: $750k - $1m
As a data point, my own comp. is above the corresponding range here due to stock appreciation.
- hitekker 8y agoI would agree with the caveat being that most of these ranges are for West-Coast based companies, in particular, the Bay Area.
- throwaway713 8y agoLooks about right for software engineers. For data scientists and data engineers subtract half the stock.
- bitcoinmoney 8y agowow. can you include base + bonus + stock info here? I am currently hw/sw engineer at AMD austin (rank: Staff Engineer) and I get paid 140K base + 80-100K stocks. Yearly refresh is 10-20K. This data makes me cry.
- CoachRufus87 8y agoAt least we can buy a home for <400k here in Austin. Still, wow.
- luminaobscura 8y agoSenior Engineer example: $180k salary $30k cash bonus $150k stock
