I know engineers in Canada who are making similar amounts. There's not a lot but it's not nonexistent.
- geebee 7y agoPotential ambiguity here. Yes, “staff” engineers at google earn very high salaries, but people unfamiliar with titles might think this term means a competent but otherwise unremarkable member of the technical staff. At google a Staff engineer is a title notably higher than senior swe, and many talented people will not reach this title or pay grade.

- halflings 7y agoThe point I'm making in my comment is that "Senior Software Engineers" are not making >600K in SF. "Senior Software Engineer" is a role you can reach in 3-8 years of experience. "Staff" is a whole different ordeal, a role many never reach. And even then compensation is closer to 450K; you might find some around 600K but those are outliers (whereas OP made it sound that >600K is something common)
