Ask HN: Salary Expectations
How much should a recent graduate from a top-tier university expect to earn in a technical role in the Bay Area?
For companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook, what base pay, benefits, signing bonus, and relocation should I expect to receive?
For early stage startups with 1 million - 10 million in funding and 2-5 employees, what base pay, equity %, and benefits should I expect?

- salarayexp 15y agoGlassdoor doesn't segregate it by experience, and definitely doesn't help for startups. Are rising seniors / recent grads with offers willing to share their approximate salaries and benefits, along with the stage / approximate size of the company, anonymously?
- ernestipark 15y agoYou should expect to do pretty well. Base salary can range from 75k-100k which is fairly standard. Most of the big companies offer all standard benefits, health/retirement/fitness club/food/snacks. Signing bonuses seem to vary a lot by company from none to a few dozen thousand. Relocation is usually a few thousand. That's a fairly standard ballpark estimate for well paying Valley companies.
