170k at a tiny startup based in the Bay Area (I’m elsewhere), plus maybe a small bonus each year. I’m in an industry I love, too. I get decent benefits, but they’re basically the standard stuff (standard TriNet benefits if you’re aware of that company). The last two jobs were in the same industry at 150k and 120k. I’m a senior developer, but only been at this for about 4 years professionally so far. I have a lot of varied experience in other industries as well.
- elijahwright 5y agoI've worked for four or five TriNet-associated companies over the years - the "standard benefits" package you mention doesn't exist. It's very possible to go from "good benefits and cheap insurance" to "bad benefits via expensive insurance" - just by hopping from one company to another. It depends on what the company you're working for is willing to select and pay out for. Take your time when considering offers and ask about these things up front.
- ok_dad 5y agoYea, I guess I have been lucky in that for my last ~5 jobs I have had about the same benefits and costs, so I assumed (i.e.: made an 'ass' of 'me'; not so much 'u' though) that most benefits in the Bay Area were pretty standard to what I've experienced. I definitely don't do enough due-dilligence in researching benefits before taking a job, so clearly I've gotten lucky. Thanks for the input here.
