L6 at Amazon is two levels up from the bottom (“senior engineer”)? Where are they making $500k-$600k a year?
From levels.fyi, FAANG and the unicorns are almost all in the $300k-$400k range. Have offers gone up $200k in the last few months? Or are you assuming people are moving up a level?
- WaxProlix 5y agoIt's true actually, levels shows them topping out at ~400, but I personally know a few who are well above that.

If you filter by "New Offers Only", you'll see a pretty sharp shift in the trend starting around October 2021. Same with Uber, a notable uptick starting late last year: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Uber/salaries/Software-Engineer/Senior-Software-Engineer/ https://www.levels.fyi/company/Uber/salaries/Software-Engine... The top of the band has probably gone up more than the median offer, and most companies didn't increase their bands by that much (yet). This is definitely a case of "the future is here - just not evenly distributed yet".
