How much are you making? I know that's a taboo question but your account is throwaway :-). I made $130k at a company called proofpoint with around 6-7 years experience as a software engineer and analyst, until I left tech.
- techsin101 7y agoMy guess is upward of 500k
- Infinitesimus 7y agoIn case OP doesn't give you exact numbers, you can probably make some guesses: 1. ~10yrs in a couple of these companies means they're likely at E5/E6 (+1 level if Amazon) 2. All those companies have had fantastic stock growth over the past decade and they compensate heavily in stock 3. Play around https://www.levels.fyi/ https://www.levels.fyi/ for those companies So likely >500K W2 take home in recent years
- phendrenad2 7y agoThis is amazing to me. Outside of FAANG people make $80k-$100k as a new grad, and generally cap out at $160k after 5 years of experience (and good luck getting beyond that). At FAANG people seem to start at $100k as a new gead and after 5 years they're above $200k and they're just starting their upward trend. Is this reality or just my perception? Are FAANG companies really capturing that much more wealth per employee that they can afford to pay people like this?
