I didn’t accuse anyone of lying, so I have no idea what you are on about. I asked how jedberg knew what other engineers were paid. I am not even skeptical of his particular anecdote, just curious.
I have first hand experience at SFBA tech companies, and if you don’t think they are overwhelmingly classifying them the same as SDEs, you’re simply wrong. You haven’t worked inside of one, so that alone is likely going to limit your understanding quite a bit.
This has nothing to do with my own salary either (and I have received an offer from netflix, not that it means anything).
- tptacek 7y agoI'm confident that you're wrong about this. I told you how I know that. It's fine if we just agree to disagree; I just can't let the claim you made stand without rebuttal.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoFor whatever it’s worth (probably not much), I actually ran into someone who interviewed with a company that your company was recruiting for, and that person did not pass your interview. Based on their account, your bar for security engineers is far higher than the norm. I seriously question whether you understand how mediocre the mean security engineer actually is, even at top tier companies, given that you seem to surround yourself with top tier talent. There is a vast ocean of OWASP 101 grads landing senior positions out there.
- tptacek 7y agoI feel like the opposite thing is true about us, in that our process (effectively, somewhat notoriously) avoids people with substantial prior experience in our field.

- mjg59 7y agoNone of the SFBA tech companies I've worked at have classified security engineers and SDEs as the same thing.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoIf you currently work at Google, that statement is not correct.
- tptacek 7y agoI think maybe the person you're talking to knows more about this than, say, the average HN commenter.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoNot a high bar. Their profile says they work at Google, hence my comment. They’re wrong about what Google HR is doing, apparently.
- JamesBarney 7y agoThey are a security engineer...
