(A research scientist with a PhD in CS making <$100k at Facebook—what!??)
Perhaps there is a big difference between getting hired in the Bay and moving later versus getting hired remotely from the beginning.
- zuhayeer 5y agoLevels.fyi lists total compensation, the ones on Ladders seem like base salaries only
- BadCookie 5y agoI realize that, but base salaries don’t match either without doubling them.
- BadCookie 5y agoI guess they match a bit better than I first judged. It will be interesting to see what happens to these companies if their stock prices ever cool off.
- Jensson 5y agoAdd 50% to base salary for stocks/guaranteed bonuses for junior positions. Then that percentage go up as you climb the ladder. (Guaranteed bonus is a way for them to make you stay to the end of the year before leaving...) Note this is not accounting for stock appreciation. If stocks didn't go up you would just earn about $300-400k as a senior software engineer, with stock appreciation you can see $500k+.
