For FB/Google: L3: ~$165k L4: ~$225k L5: ~$335k L6: ~$450k I think Amazon is a little less and Netflix is a little more.

The chart you shared is about religion, whereas the claim you're refuting is about gender and race. They're not comparable at all.

Yeah for sure. I just wish I could filter by fine-grained ideas instead of having to read 30 paragraphs to find what I'm looking for.

I'd love to be able to filter for more explicit versions of work/life balance. For example, if I could find a job with a 4-day work week and 6 weeks of PTO, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Instead the companies on this site that

Yeah, at FANG when you get promoted, your RSU grant isn't increased to match the new level. So if you can get a job elsewhere at your new level, it's almost always a big pay increase.

For sure. Looks like over 300 pages of background about how Linux works before it even gets to the source code!

Unfortunately internships aren't really designed for you. From the company's perspective, the point of an internship is to build a relationship with students so that they're likely to join full time after they graduate. Since

These are software engineering internships, where top firms pay interns around $10,000 a month. Ethics aside, it wouldn't be in a company's best interest to offer unpaid internships because they wouldn't get any good candidat
