What entry level SV dev makes 11,000 x 12 = 132,000 x 1.25 (tax) = $165k/year pre-tax? I know the salaries here are high but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. If they are that high for entry level then I’m being seriously underpaid :/
- axguscbklp 5y agoI am assuming that in the article the $11k/month figure is pre-tax. It is higher than Silicon Valley entry-level, I think, but I had thought that it is not higher by much. However, I just did a bit of Googling that made me realize that maybe I am significantly overestimating entry-level Silicon Valley salaries.

- sdevonoes 5y agoEverybody who is not working for FAANG-level/SV is underpaid. That's like 90% of the developers in the world (I include myself), so don't feel bad :)
- Mc91 5y agoIn 2020, here are some companies paying $195k-$230k for entry level programmers - https://www.levels.fyi/2020/ https://www.levels.fyi/2020/ FAANG is not on the list, FAANG pays $180k-$190k for entry level (Netflix does not recruit entry level much though). So total compensation, entry level at some places is $15k higher, or more.
- uncomputation 5y agoA little off-topic I suppose but TC being nearly $200k but salary being $130k always feels disappointing to me, especially since RSUs rarely vest within year 1.
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoI thought the 11k/mo was pre-tax but regardless, with stock they can be higher than $165k.
