Can anyone reconcile the difference between $227k median wage in SV and the fact that even entry level jobs listed pay more than than? Is it just the most SV jobs are not in FANG companies.
- shawabawa3 7y ago> Is it just the most SV jobs are not in FANG companies. Yes. Even in SF the majority of jobs will not be tech based at all let alone FANG
- rb808 7y agoThat $227k median must be SV tech jobs, the median wage for whole of USA is $32k
- shawabawa3 7y agoI think those are median pay of the areas overall, not just tech So SV has $227k median, but that includes all jobs May be misunderstanding the slide though, it isn't clear edit: Median salary for SF is more like $95k, so this must be tech only I suppose that means that >50% of the responses at L3, hence the median being ~L3 salary
- zeroonetwothree 7y agoThe Bay Area has around ~900k "tech jobs". FANG is a small fraction of that. Also "tech" may include other roles (non-engineer) which earn less.
