You are telling me that senior VPs make 2.5 million USD each year?
- sarora27 6y agoSome do, yes
- codemac 6y agoYes? Especially at large tech companies, it's largely in stock not cash. Most senior/staff engineering ICs at large tech companies make much more than 250k USD.
- smabie 6y agoYeah definitely, some even more. This is only applies to tech though, in finance VP/SVP is that senior of a role. A SVP in tech equals a MD in finance.
- fatnoah 6y agoAbsolutely. Director levels at many large tech companies certainly earn > $1M, even before stock appreciation.
- user5994461 6y agoNot in the UK though.
- fatnoah 6y agoTrue, that's a good point.
- gpm 6y agoI make roughly 200k USD per year as a newgrad (once you count equity and bonuses, pre tax)... Of course senior engineers make way more, and senior VPs more than your average senior engineer.
- fatnoah 6y agoAt current exchange rates, that's $255K USD, per year. I manage a team of 11 people at a large US tech company. Level of experience ranges from 2-7 years. The lowest paid person on my team makes just under that amount. The highest paid makes about twice that amount.
- askafriend 6y agoLiterally new grads make $200k+ at any respected Silicon Valley company. Senior individual contributors are probably making $350-500k a year. Directors easily hitting $500-1m a year. And we're not even at the VP level yet.
- mattnewton 6y agoProbably, some of my offers were well north of that as a swe with only 3 years of experience out of college. The role they are asking for sounds like it requires a deep understanding of software development, people management, and the UK government to be effective, for a entry-level compensation .

- american_aurora 6y agoLooking at these other responses, I think there is a quiet dignity to working at a respectable GS grade (or whatever) that the "HN crowd" just does not understand.
- armagon 6y agoI'm amazed by these salaries. I thought I was making decent money but it is nothing like that. Do any of these sort of salaries exist outside of the US? How about outside of FAANG companies?
- gpm 6y agoThey exist outside of FAANG. I personally haven't seem them outside of the bay area. As mentioned elsewhere I'm a new grad with ballpark 200k usd total compensation. My base salary is ~2/3rds of my compensation.
- nvarsj 6y agoNot in the UK. Only in Silicon Valley, at a handful of companies, is this kind of comp normal. Seems silly to compare a government job to inflated stock-based salaries.
