The numbers are silliness, hard to take the rest of the points seriously. Average starting salary for engineers at FB isn’t $150K and there aren’t 1000 engineers. Looks like the author pulled these numbers from Internet sources from years ago, then compares them to FB’s 2020 revenue. Articles from years ago say that FB’s average salary is in the 120-130K range, total comp around 150K, but that’s for all employees, not just engineers, who are the highest paid. E3’s (new college grads) make more than $150K. https://www.levels.fyi/company/Facebook/salaries/Software-Engineer/ https://www.levels.fyi/company/Facebook/salaries/Software-En... FB had 60K employees end of 2020, you think only 1.6% of them are engineers? Did they source this from a Quora answer from years ago that’s the top google result for “Facebook number engineers” where someone just pulls a big number out of their ass? https://www.quora.com/How-many-software-engineers-work-at-Facebook https://www.quora.com/How-many-software-engineers-work-at-Fa...
