For junior candidates yes. Anyone with 5+ years of good experience, no, it's about half of what you'd make at Google.
- rune-space 1y agoYou’re talking Google L5? Anduril L5 is similar YOE. I’m seeing ~400k TC for L5 at Google in levels.fyi, Anduril is significantly higher.
- fooker 1y agoNo, when I say 5 years I mean something like a PhD + five years in a relevant job. That would be maybe L6 at Google unless you're coasting.
- rune-space 1y agoOf all the moved goalposts…

- rune-space 1y agoAnd how does that relate to this discussion on relative compensation?
- fooker 1y agoWe are talking about senior employees at a R&D heavy company. You brought up Google L5 as the comparison. It is not. I explicitly mentioned compensation is pretty standard for junior employees.
- rune-space 1y agoAlright pal. You haven’t kept a straight line this whole thread (this current message directly contradicts 2x previously established claims of yours). Good day.
- togetheragainor 1y agoIf you're using levels.fyi as a reference, Anduril pays its L5s significantly less, not more: https://www.levels.fyi/companies/anduril-industries/salaries/software-engineer/levels/l5 https://www.levels.fyi/companies/anduril-industries/salaries...

- wildzzz 1y agoFor those in the defense industry, Anduril pays pretty well.
- fooker 1y agoI don't doubt it. Still about half of what a senior role in big tech would amount to. This is an interesting trend for a bunch of newer companies, pay competitively for junior roles but significantly below industry for experienced candidates.
- therobots927 1y agoClassic cult recruitment tactic. Lure people in, hook them, then trap them.
- rune-space 1y agoYour claim is that they don't practice at-will employment?
- bigyabai 1y agoObviously not? The bigger issue is trusting them not to lord your RSUs over you.
- therobots927 1y agoAre you familiar with the term "cult"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult
- rune-space 1y agoSure. Do you have a real argument, or are you just aligned with siblings compliant: "this company sucks: when you stop working for them, they stop paying you"
