Also - is this even new?
>50% of engineers at Google are L4+. For the last few years, at L4 you should have been getting annual ~$100k grants over 4 years if your work in The Bay.
My understanding is that FB paid even more, and that Amazon was maybe 20% behind at the same level.
It's not like pre-covid engineers got nothing and now you get a $120k Bonus suddenly.

- mancerayder 5y agoAre these on top of a cash bonus?
- mghfreud 5y agoYes, but cash bonuses are “only” around 15-25% of base pay depending on seniority. For senior engineers, rsu grants are >= base pay.
- mancerayder 5y agoSo 300 base, plus the 100 or whatever RSU grant, plus 45-75K bonus?
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoL4 base is DEFINITELY NOT $300k. I think it's quite rare for L4s to have a base higher than $200k. But total compensation is likely higher than you mentioned. You have an initial grant that vests over 4 years that currently is absurdly high - usually more than your base (after appreciation). Then you have 4 of the grants that stack each year. Plus your 15-25% cash bonus. Plus you usually get a couple small ($1-$5k) bonuses throughout the year for the projects you're working on. FAANG salaries are no joke. Especially Google and FB.
- mghfreud 5y agoFor L5: - base is 175k+ (Usually around 180-200k, if not newly promoted). - 15% cash bonus - 120-150k$ worth rsu These are for average performers. Above average performers get up to ~100% more bonus and rsu At each promotion, these numbers increase by around 15-20%. (Same for L4->L5 promotion, but L4 is not a senior level at Google) * These are ballpark Bay Area numbers for L5 to L8.
