FAANG and other large, profitable companies like Microsoft will pay you that.
- babaganoosh89 8y agoFAANG tends to pay ~300k for senior engineers. For 400k you usually need to get lucky with stock appreciation.
- dunpeal 8y agoYou can't just claim one absolute number as the comp for all "senior engineers". There's a huge amount of variance, within FAANG and elsewhere. As a simple example, SDE III at Amazon typically pays a bit more than $300k. Principal SDE, the next rank above that, will pay well over $400k. And don't forget that during years of steep stock appreciation, like much of the past decade, actual compensation will often be higher than that.
