Yeah, I was confused what the 'upper crust' section means. I know the top paid software engineers at google make way more than 180k in total compensation. Maybe they mean the top base salaries for people with 'software engineer' titles is 180k, but that's a sort of pointless number when bonuses can be 2+ times base.
At first I thought they meant average total compensation, but 180k seems too high.
- freyr 14y agoYes, I wondered the same. Regarding total compensation, glassdoor pegs the average at around 150k for software developers, and 200k for senior software developers. If you believe those numbers. But we can only speculate where they arrived at their numbers, and how they define upper crust.
- noname123 14y agoJust curious, how do stock awards work in BigCo's like GOOG/ADBE/MSFT/FB? Are employees awarded stock options that vest only X amount of years of service? Are they awarded in lump-sum vesting that means all of your options are voided if you are terminated and quit prior to vesting date?
