What are the numbers in the career trajectories? Means? Medians? Maxima? It's hard to make sense of this.
Can anybody vouch for the accuracy of the data? A friend of mine works for one of these companies, gets (or claims to get) excellent reviews, and makes nowhere close the "career trajectory" numbers.
BTW, salary data for H1B applicants is public and could be used to validate the base salary numbers, to some extent. Although it is not a given that H1B workers make the same as non-H1B. And then of course there is the stock, which is a mystery.
- murderfs 8y agoI can vouch that the Google numbers are plausible, but only because of stock appreciation. The actual numbers that a new hire would get are somewhat lower.
- zuhayeer 8y agoThe numbers in the charts are means over user submitted data we've gotten. We've tried to dismiss severe outliers, but still are not 100% accurate. But with the volume of data we've collected I believe we're converging on something close to what is real.
