Does Google really pay that well?
- jedieaston 8y agoDepends on what you're doing. I know the SREs can probably get up there after a couple years, given the crazy amount of knowledge you have to have coming in.

- sidlls 8y agoYes. Base pay for a very junior hire is $140k - $160k and equity ranges from $250k to $400k or more (vesting over four years, so $62.5k to $100k per year). After annual bonus and raises, for a single person who lives reasonably and has no debt it's about 4-6 years from zero to $1M in the bank.

- joshuamorton 8y agoThat's a bit inflated. That's l4 comp, whereas very junior would be l3 comp, which is a bit less (120-140 base and much less equity). It gets confusing because of stock lettering and such.
- drewg123 8y agoNot to mention the bonus multipliers and RSU grants depend a lot on your level. I recall there was a steep difference between L5 and L6. I assume there is a similar one between L3 and L4..
- joshuamorton 8y agoBonus multiplier is the same up to l5, it starts growing rather quickly after that, but yeah target rsu grants change significantly from level to level (iirc they approximately double from 3 to 4 and also from 4 to 5).
- expertentipp 8y agoNot in Europe, certainly not in Europe outside London and Zurich.

- sosilkj 8y agoaccording to this, half of google L3 engineers > 200k! that seems high and i'll admit i'm surprised. L3 is what college grads start at right? Edit: corrected my comment (thought figures were salary, but they're total comp)
