- gigatexal 8y agoI really need to get these skills up to snuff and get my butt back to the US. These salaries are ridiculous.
- techie128 8y agoNot salary. It's total comp. Most of it is stock growth.
- gigatexal 8y agoMakes sense actually. Still the tax paid on the sale of stock (held for a year or more I think) is taxed under the Bush era cap gains values of only 15% IIRC so that's pretty good.
- mrep 8y agoWhen your stock gets awarded, the full amount is taxed as income. If you don't sell that stock for a year and then sell it, any gains from the price at the award date and the sell date are taxed as cap gains so not really.
- gigatexal 8y agoUgh that complicated things for sure.
- gniv 8y ago> is taxed under the Bush era cap gains values of only 15% Not really. A lot of it is taxed as income when vested, as mrep mentioned. And if you do keep them long term, at that level of income the long-term cap gains tax is 20%. And there is also the Net Investment Income Tax of 3.8%.
- tejinderss 8y agoWhat technologies you work in ?
- nugget 8y agoDo you mean the University of Kansas?
- victords 8y agoJesus, that's a quick career progression at Facebook...
- madengr 8y agoDamn! I graduated MSEE from KU in ‘96 and make 1/8 that. Don’t go into hardware, kids.
