Blind is an anonymous messaging app where people talk about their salaries, employers, and other topics. It’s somewhat toxic.
$240k seems in the range of normal for most of the FAANGs. Of course it can go much higher.
It doesn’t seem like the typical new hire just out of undergrad gets that much to start.
- tastyface 8y agoAgreed that Blind is a crap community, but their numbers are more accurate than I've seen anywhere else (including levels.fyi).

- tastyface 8y agoYep. Anonymity is the focus, so people are more than happy to air their racist and sexist laundry. Lots of 4chan-style garbage. In terms of career advice, it's also very mercenary and salary-driven.
- beeskneecaps 8y agoEvery post on there ends up looking like this HN thread. Some would say it is highly toxic, so make sure to set an aggressive screen-time limit. It is not healthy to read so much depressing content.
