> $330k/year
For a traditional software engineer? I retired last year after 3 decades and my salary was about the same as it was in the early 2000's at the last company I was at. Maybe I should have negotiated more but I thought only FAANG paid traditional pre-AI engineers more than $250K.
- simplyluke 4mo agoUber's comp packages are probably right in line with that. Tech salaries are trimodal, and uber's right in line with the big public tech companies. https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/trimodal https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/trimodal
- closeparen 4mo agoThere is a tier just outside of FAANG that pays similarly or better, prominent examples being Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Block, Databricks, Datadog, Pinterest, Snowflake, etc.
- nicebyte 4mo ago250k for base pay is about in line with median I'd say. If 250k was the total comp (taking into account bonus/stocks/what have you) then yeah, you definitely should have negotiated.
