If your barometer for what SWEs are making is Blind or something, let's just say you're way off. Based on salary sites and such that I've seen that are specifically calibrated to Bay Area pay scales, most of the people bragging about their TC on Blind are either lying, overinflating pre-IPO equity, or got lucky with some real equity.
- not_really 3y agoI don't think most of them are lying about TC. On blind especially, I see lots of reasonable pay scales, /especially/ when compared with salary sites.
- shakkhar 3y agoThe numbers I've seen on blind are mostly accurate. The issue is that people only report on blind when their comp is at p95 of market. Making $350k is a bit of a trope on blind. You either make $350k, or peanuts.
