Alright. I have around 20 years of experience in the industry. As far as levels go I'm between L6 and L7 Google level.
I consider anything less than $170k/yr these days to be insulting, regardless of whether they are FAANG or not. My last 3 non-FAANG position have paid that much / more.
- alisonkisk 6y agoThat's about what senior government jobs pay.
- barry-cotter 6y agoThat’s less than FAANG entry level salary for Silicon Valley. L3 at Google. L6 make almost half a million a year in total compensation. > Google L3 TOTAL ESTIMATE $187,769 > L3 / T3 is the new grad software engineering role at Google https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Google&track=Software%20Engineer https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Google&track=Software%20Engi...

- permille42 6y agoYes I agreed that for my experience and ability I get paid badly. It is one of the reasons I am a rather bitter and angry person. On the other hand, I still make a lot of money compared to the majority of people. This is little consolation though after devoting so much time and effort in my life to what I do. Hence I hate pretty much every engineer I come into contact with these days. A huge number of them make as much or more than I do, and have 1/3 the experience and knowledge.
