- nly 6y agoThe multiples I cited are what I tend to observe in the industry generally. There aren't really any FANMAGs outside of London.
- actuator 6y agoAh, your comment referred to FANMAG hence my reply. > There aren't really any FANMAGs outside of London. There are. For example, AWS has a development center in Cambridge.
- bfung 6y agoTo be a little bit picky, Amazon & Microsoft pay about 1/2 in total compensation than the Bay Area companies. using data from https://www.levels.fyi/ https://www.levels.fyi/ It’s been true since 2014, as I check salaries around the web to see how my hiring goes, and also for my own opportunities. My own records: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BoMvtY_mICEYygy0jXVGwmGIJxFs2zsAXsQvM6K8BEk/edit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BoMvtY_mICEYygy0jXVG... Point being - Amazon&MS salaries aren’t likely to change, while Bay Area tech companies, the outflux happening, will have to adjust.
- Hydraulix989 6y agoSeattle is both as expensive and as competitive of a hiring market as the Bay Area (there used to be a CoL delta but the gap closed after 2013ish, when Amazon and Microsoft stocks both went on a tear and Facebook expanded with multiple new large engineering offices there). I say that as someone who recently left Seattle to move to the Bay pre-pandemic. Only miss the lower taxes, and certainly not the weather.
