- nerdponx 3y agoHoly cow, $200k with 1 year? Were you a strong student at a high-ranked academic program? PhD? Particularly gifted individual with proven high-quality amateur/hobby work?
- amyamyamy2 3y agoI got lucky in that I joined early enough to get an annual raise + performance evaluation while being under a year in. This is a pretty standard offer at meta/google in NYC or the bay area though; I didn't negotiate equity at all so I know a few people making more. I think it's definitely possible to get into meta/google without any of those things but tbf I was very fortunate because I did 4 big tech internships and came from a top 5 school. I know people making about as much who didn't do internships or go to a top school, though but were able to get noticed by a recruiter and then pass the interviews edit: also i looked at https://www.levels.fyi/2022/ https://www.levels.fyi/2022/ and applied to all of the top companies I saw
- nerdponx 3y agoI knew salary distributions were bimodal but I never realized it was so separated even at entry level. Outside of these top companies, from what I have seen, entry-level IC offers have been stagnant for years in the 60-80k range.
