At its height, FAANG companies are dishing out > $500k total compensation to engineers. You would have to be quant analysts themselves to beat that number.

- tombert 3y agoWhen was its height? Even with stock packages at Apple I was getting closer to $250-$300k/year total comp. This would have been September 2018 until March 2021...
- moosedev 3y agoHeight was probably something like mid-2021 to early 2022. But note that Apple (broadly, handwaving, obviously subject to stock price fluctuations, offer negotiation, time-in-role, etc.) pays their software engineers less than the other FAANGs. Substantially less than a few of them.
