I'm talking about RSUs, yes...apologies. I'm not saying they are getting FAANG level money. I'm saying that they often only report their base salary to sites like glassdoor/salary.com, and don't always note the RSUs and bonuses. Together, that's often 10-20% over what you see on those sites. Doesn't close the gap, of course.
- scarface_74 3y agoYes. But the gap isn’t nearly as wide as people think it is once you consider the lifestyle you can live in metro Atlanta (where those companies are headquartered) compared to making more on the west coast. Yes I realize I’m arguing both sides. I didn’t even think about accepting the chance to apply for a role at $BigTech when a recruiter reached out to me that would have been $75K-$100K more than I was making if it meant that I had to move to Seattle. I did take a permanently remote role that paid $60K-$75K more by doing a slight pivot from pure software development.
