I'm curious what I could expect to earn as a Senior Developer with 18 years of experience? I've worked my way into manager/director positions at a couple of companies, but I'm a developer at heart. Always worked for private companies with in-house tech teams, some offering traditional services, some SAAS, some physical goods.
I started in 2005 with no degree at $10/hr. Many years later, a handful of job changes, and I'm north of $200k total compensation when you include salary, insurance and ESOP. That's a huge leap from where I started, but when I see people nearly 1/2 my age hitting $200k on salary alone, it makes me wonder...
- leetcrew 4y agoif you're really curious, you can just look it up on levels.fyi. total comp for a senior engineer easily breaks $300k at any of the FAANGs. at the same time, downleveling is common for people who don't grind leetcode problems pretty intensely. I know more than one person with 10+ years at the "senior" level at other companies who only got a mid-level offer at FAANGs. and they still took it; it was more money even with the downlevel.
