Another point of reference: here are some offers recently aggregated on Blind. In 2019, I got an offer almost identical to one of those listed below, and a friend got an offer a little higher than listed below. So I believe the reports are legit.
While the raw salary data on levels.fyi is useful, other context about the candidate & team is pretty important. For example, my friend has no college degree but matched to a very profitable / well-funded team, so he got a relatively larger stock award. levels.fyi probably has a pretty good estimate of how each company assigns base salary bands to the now "standard" four levels (junior, senior, staff, decorated).
It seems sign-on bonuses grew a lot in 2019. Several posts for Facebook new grads getting $100k sign-on bonus.

- jypepin 7y agoI've recently interviewed and got 5 offers. Those numbers check out.
- vonseel 7y agoAll SF/CA numbers I suppose? Any idea how these differ in Austin?
- choppaface 7y agoyeah pretty sure these were all CA. offers I've seen for Seattle are a bit lower, not sure about Austin.
- jypepin 7y agoYes, all SF offers. No idea for Austin, but I used levels.fyi to give me an idea of what to expect and negociate, and it helped a lot (and was on point with what I got offered). I think you can filter per city, so there might be some data for Austin.
- bronxbomber92 7y agoDoes “1M for 4 years stock” mean a 1M grant per year that each vest over 4 years or 4 years worth of grants that total 1M?
- umeshunni 7y ago1M/4 = 250K vests each year (excluding any refreshers)
- paxys 7y agoDo you know how many years of experience these companies need to place someone in these levels?
- choppaface 7y agoFor my offer, I had 10 years of experience and they slotted me as Senior. Generally I've seen people with as few as 2 years of experience slot as Senior. I think it has less to do with the years of experience you actually have and more to do with your panel.
