Those numbers are probably TC (total compensation) which includes stocks and sometimes bonuses. If you go on Blind you can see people are receiving offers in that ballpark from Facebook and Google, who seem to be in a bidding war of sorts for talent.
- twblalock 8y agoAll of the valley is in a bidding war for talent right now. I don't think there has ever been a better time to be a software engineer. There was a while when startups were more attractive for compensation than FAANGs, but the big companies really stepped up their game. Nowadays you can work at a startup and hope to make a few million dollars in the unlikely event that it IPOs and you got in early enough to have a lot of shares, or you can work at a FAANG and be guaranteed to make a million dollars every 4-5 years, or even more frequently, and you'll have better benefits too.
