At least where I’m at–which is a tier or two below FAANG companies to many–you hit 200k at L3 and L4 SWE roles (staff and principal). Usually that’s gonna require 5+ years of experience. Senior SWEs (L2.5) touch 200 for high COL locations. Keep in mind this is base salary and doesn’t include bonuses (10%ish) or RSUs. Shameless plug: I have SWE roles open at every level on some small teams doing cool stuff at Indeed. Feel free to email.
