How are people still so misinformed about Tech salaries?
Are you in the EU? Salaries are lower across the board there for engineers.
In the US for Silicon Valley Type large Tech Companies the starting salary for New Graduate SWE's is 150k USD on the low end.
For a senior engineer at FAANG it can easily get above 500k USD.

- esafak 2y agoAmericans emigrate to Portugal, you know; don't feel so sorry.
- humansareok1 2y agoRetirees usually
- nsxwolf 2y agoKeep in mind that 150k USD can also be a terminal salary at 30 years of experience in most other places in the US. Most jobs are not FAANG or FAANG adjacent.
- humansareok1 2y agoYes of course this is true but I was responding to this common idea that high salaries, say over 300k, don't actually exist in the US when they do and are very common for Engineers at large SV tech companies.
