Yes, a new grad "feeling lowballed by 200k" was hyperbole because I waste too much time on Blind. But FAANG new grad TC is pushing that number, which is a stark contrast to my new grad numbers ~2010. But it was probably confusing for me to phrase it that way.
- bradlys 5y agoCost of living is also wildly different since 2010 though too.
- missedthecue 5y agoWidly? I don't think there's ever been a decade of lower inflation. It's certainly not 4x as expensive as then
- anonymoushn 5y agolooks like the cost of housing in Palo Alto has more than doubled: https://julianalee.com/palo-alto/palo-alto-statistics.htm https://julianalee.com/palo-alto/palo-alto-statistics.htm Edit: This is to say, the cost of housing has grown faster than the compensation available to new grads.
- jjav 5y agoWildly is about right. The last decade has been the highest real world inflation I've experience in my life and I'm not particularly young anymore so been around for a while.

- throw5away 5y agoI had $200k+ TC new grad offers from FAANGs in 2013, and one of them wasn't even for a role in the Bay Area. It's not a stark contrast at all. The market has been consistently willing to pay strongly for new talent.
