What are FAANG in Europe salaries like?
Is there also a perception of core product/business work taking place in SV and therefore European teams aren't as important?
- nvarsj 7y agoYou can dig through the salaries on levels.fyi. From my brief perusal, it looks like 50% less for London. I'd guess other places will be even lower.
- shawabawa3 7y agoI can pitch in to say in London I make ~$150k + $50k/y options (not sure how to value these, strike price is only slightly discounted) for L4 (should be ~$300k according to levels) From what i've heard London has by far the highest tech salaries in Europe
- gberger 7y agoIs that at Google?
- fyfy18 7y agoThat is around £114k, which is a high salary for London, but nothing in comparison to what you can make contracting (and at the same 'salary', as a contractor you'll pay less tax in the UK). The base rates for web technologies are around £500/day, and if you specialise and have a track record for delivering you can easily push that up.
- exclipy 7y agoFor Google, Zurich has slightly higher salaries but half the RSUs compared to SV. But taxes and housing are lower in Zurich, so. Comp isn't based on what's important for the business; it's based purely on market reference pricing.
