Do you have direct experience or knowledge of this? Cause this doesn't square with my anecdotal knowledge or my sense of the bay area labor market. For instance levels.fyi quotes total comp for mid level engineers in the 250 range, which tails much closer to Google, Facebook, etc.

- aardvarklegend 7y agoStaff (l7) is no where near middle engineer. L6 is senior, l5 is engineer and l4 is entry level. L6 is also split into two bands 6a and 6b. As a 6a my total comp is around 240 and on par with my coworkers. The l5s were closer to 200. L5 is a middle engineering level.
- kerng 7y agoL6 is staff at Uber. They have this weird 5a/5b thing. Meaning Amzn/goog/fb L7 = Uber L6. Msft would probably 65/66 map to Uber L6.
