Median(?avg?) senior comp at Google is apparently 350k, 370k at Facebook.
That is reasonable for large top tech company, which was the original statement.
- ryandrake 8y agoThe original claim was about a "range" of $350K to $500K, implying that $350K was the low end, not average or median. Which sounds highly doubtful, even at top tech companies, and totally unheard of at most average tech companies.
- dmoy 8y agoOk sure, one level above senior, average is 480k+. That's still not that high level. Especially since people will routinely make senior with like 6-8 years of experience.
- pc86 8y agoSo based on this comment and the one you made a few levels up, it is "routine" for someone to graduate college, go to Google, and 6 years later (when they're 27-28 years old) be making $370,000 a year?
- dmoy 8y agoI feel you are moving the goalposts a bit, but yes, for people who got in to top large tech companies. The original statement I made was 350-500 is about in line with senior-ish at top large tech companies. The levels immediately below senior brush against that boundary (I made 350k one year when the stars aligned, and wasn't senior), and the levels immediately above are averaging at the very top of that limit. If you disagree with the data, that's fine. Edit: dropping random extra prepositions
- dmoy 8y agoI have no illusions that the current gravy train will stay forever, but for now... In particular because more comp comes from stock, it's extremely sensitive to a market downturn.
