625k a year? Doing what exactly? Good for you, but I have never seen a spec with even a third of that salary. Or is it that it's only FAANG who's paying that big?
- kolinko 5y agoStock options - it's mentioned in the article.
- kosmotaur 5y agoWhat proportion that must have been compared to the base! Even if it was 60% the base is still mind blowing.

- paganel 5y agoNever set foot in SV nor in the States, but from half a world away it does seem that that figure (i.e. ~600k) for total yearly comp at a FAANG company, given OP's experience, is in the general ballpark, so to speak.
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoCloser to ~30% base. The big money comes from stock comp, not salary.
- joshuamorton 5y agoHe's at Amazon, so the base salary doesn't exceed 185k (and probably 160k).
