- hehehaha 6y agoYou’re forgetting finance. There are plenty coders in finance making multiples over FAANG.
- codingprograms 6y agoYes this is true. But there aren’t that many of those jobs.
- cromka 6y agoFinance doesn't pay nearly as well as FAANG does. They used to, pre 2008, especially with enormous bonuses, but that is a thing of the past. Maybe with the exception of Goldman Sachs, the other banks rather pay market rates or even below.
- akavi 6y agoNon-FAANG companies that I personally know pay senior engineers more than 400 k$/yr in TC: AirBnB, Slack, Square, Uber, Lyft, Dropbox, Twitter, Pinterest, Spotify. (This isn't to name the even longer list of private companies that have comparable comp with reasonable assessment of their equity)
