Not US, but San Fransisco/Silicon Valley, at least for the top-10 lists.
The numbers also strike me as quite strange - the median comp in SF/SV is barely higher than the entry-level comp listed a few pages prior. Employment in that area must be very bottom-heavy for that to be true?
- shuckles 6y agoMedians seem to be in their self reported dataset, which surely isn’t a representative sample.
- VectorLock 6y agoI think it lists the Top 10 companies, and then latter on lists the median salary across all the companies they have data for.
- alistairSH 6y agoAh, that makes more sense. Different data sets for each list.
- slumdev 6y agoEmployment in software engineering is very bottom-heavy everywhere. The number of software engineers doubles every five years. That means half of all software engineers have less than five years of experience. (And 75% have less than ten years, and 87.5% have less than 15 years, and so on.)
- mFixman 6y agoThe report seems to have cash salary only. Most of these companies have a significant payout in stocks every year, and the ratio of stock to cash gets bigger the higher you go in the company.
- johncessna 6y agoI can confirm for the amazon amount(under level IV) is not cash only. That's total comp.
