Does anyone know how much money we're talking about here? How much do, say, Google SRE people make after a few years on the job?

- jcdavis 13y agoCan't say salaries, but any engineer who joined facebook in 2008 is now safely a multi-millionaire.
- elwell 13y agoAvg $126,375 according to GlassDoor for Google SRE
- jcdavis 13y agoMost Glassdoor numbers are out of date.
- kchoudhu 13y agoMan, Glassdoor is making me jealous. Kids with 1-3 years experience making 204K in NYC? BRB, applying to Google SRE.
- jrockway 13y agoHalf is taxes and the other half of that is rent for a 1 room apartment. NYC ain't cheap. I have no idea why there are software engineering offices in this city.
- kchoudhu 13y agoTell me about it. Front office technology at one of the larger banks here in NYC -- the only reason we still have jobs is because the desk needs someone in technology to yell at when things go wrong. Your taxes and living observation gels pretty well with my ongoing experience in the city :(
- kev009 13y agoTBH that's surprisingly low. I know engineers making this in Phoenix at mid-size companies and even more in specific industries like financials. Cost of living is much lower than many of Google's offices here. These folks are good engineers, but probably couldn't pass the kernel/syscall level questions people have shared from Google SRE interviews. The whole culture of those colluding companies seems pretty feudal - "you should feel honored to be a member in our court"
- chippy 13y agoI think it's exactly that - there is a lot of real or manufactured kudos in working for the Big G. Geeks wanted to work for them. They approached Google. Google didn't have to try. That, and it's a fun exciting place for young people, the bikes, free food etc.
