None of the numbers in the article seem unrealistic to me.
Keep in mind the big tech companies (FANG et al) are really a tier above in terms of pay, and also that the numbers given here include both RSUs and a projected performance bonus.
If you think this guy/gal is overpaid, well, get a load of this table: https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-facebook-alphabet-most-profitable-companies-per-employee-2017-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-facebook-alphabet-most...
- jedberg 8y agoProfit per employee is not a very good measure of anything, because it depends on how much the company is reinvesting in itself at that time. A much better metric is revenue per employee.
- oh_sigh 8y agoDoes an L3 or L4 at google in the valley make $300k/year? That seems way above normal based on those salary spreadsheets that leaked.
- titanomachy 8y agoSix offers is also well above normal. Most people I've talked to did not have a single competing offer. Salaries normalise over time though, if performance is similar to peers then comp eventually will be as well (meaning other people will get bigger raises).
- tokonami 8y agoIf you're a new hire, getting a $300k/year offer is rare for L3 and possible for L4 if you negotiate. If you've been around for a few years and performed well, it's possible to cross $300k/year as L3/L4 given how much FAANG stocks have grown.
