I can assure you they are absolutely paying in the same ballpark as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google, you just don't know how to limit your searches to the tech roles.

So give some numbers of what the f100 companies make compared to FAANG? I’m very familiar with at least three of the companies that are based in Atlanta - Delta, Coke and Home Depot. Seeing that I’ve worked for corp dev for almost 25 years before joining BigTech.

  Depends on the role. $500k total comp is common on the tech scale of the companies I'm familiar with. While not the $800k+ you might see at some FAANG in specific roles, it absolutely is enough to no longer consider FAANG if you're bothered even one iota by their hiring process.

    Name a company. You keep being obtuse

      Fortune... 3. not FAANG but in retail. Can hit $500k total comp easily, if you live on either coast.

        Not according to Levels https://www.levels.fyi/companies/walmart/salaries https://www.levels.fyi/companies/walmart/salaries The highest one in retail is Walmart. Level 5 comp for Walmart is about the same as a mid level developer at Amazon and Amazon is in the middle of the pack for tech compensation. Again you still refuse to name a company and level and numbers.

        If you knew anything about this you'd know "Walmart" isn't what you search. But if you knew anything about English you'd know "ballpark" doesn't mean "exactly equal".

        You said top 3 company in retail. Walmart is the highest in the F100 in retail. Again name names if you can’t, you’re obviously full of it.

        Like I said, if you don't understand what's going on here, you're not qualified to have this conversation.

        You’re right, I’ve only been in the industry for 27 years across 8 companies including my current one working at BigTech where I do cloud consulting for other large enterprise companies. What do I know? And yet you still haven’t been able to prove your claims that “most” pay about the same.

        You linked to a site that literally showed Walmart's non-tech arm (hint: the majority of the tech jobs at Walmart aren't under 'Walmart' on levels.fyi) paying comparable salaries (you yourself compared them)... But yeah, all those 27 years of experience totally weren't just you sitting in a chair somewhere, being "part of the team". Got it. > prove your claims that “most” pay about the same. first prove I claimed that (hint: I didn't) I'm starting to think you got fooled into thinking BigTech was the only option, and are now discovering how untrue that actually was.
