where is the data? Also article greatly exaggerate base pay, they confusing it with total compensation, I guess it makes the article more news worthy and clickable the higher the wages are.
- shevis 3y agoNot sure what you’re talking about. They pretty clearly distinguished between base and total pay even for the highest earners… > For instance, the highest reported base salary was for a level 7 software engineer, earning $718,000 in base salary and a total compensation package of nearly $800,000.
- hgsgm 3y agoThere's no way that's true. It may be "reported" as a typo or troll in the document.
- drewg123 3y agoYes, I think the bonus factor over base salary is 25% or more for L7, so I'd expect salary + bonus to be $900k. The total comp would likely well over $1M, since GSUs (Google's version of RSUs) were not even mentioned.
