What do you think they should be?

  IMHO, those figures are ~~20% under market. Maybe it's a really good place to work.

    From the table a junior engineer is 92k from 60k base + 22k SF locality + 10k cash over stock option. Is 92k that bad for junior?
    • WalterSear 12y ago
      Maybe not that specific position, but the salary list at the end looked very roughly 20% low to what I am used to seeing on Angel list etc, etc., even giving the lack of locality pay.

  The SF salaries listed are really, really low. Where I'm currently contracting several of my colleagues converted to full time. Only the COO and CEO on that list earn more than their base salary. My hourly rate makes my salary-equivalent more than everybody but the CEO. When I was a developer in a low cost of living area prior to moving to the bay area several months ago my salary was within 10% of the "Senior" engineer positions listed. This was at a non-profit, doing some really junior level CRUD work (so glad I'm not there anymore). I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to discern whether that means the salaries are "lowball" or not. And it's for Buffer to determine whether it can afford more, what the Buffer-market-rate is, etc. Nobody else. Frankly I wish more companies were transparent about salaries. Information asymmetry is a killer when it comes to negotiations.
