    People say you should work at startups because that's where the interesting work (and money) is. That's backwards! http://danluu.com/startup-tradeoffs/ …

        Two recent negotiation stories from peeps: 1. Senior at BigCo, not SF: asked for $450k total comp, company said yes, asked if they'd prefer relatively more bonus or RSUs. 2. Senior at SF unicorn: asked for $205k salary, company came back with $220k salary (plus equity). #talkpay

        Median comp package at FB is $240k/yr (this number is skewed low since it's over all employees, not just engineers): https://www.wsj.com/articles/at-facebook-median-pay-tops-240-000-1523924535 …. Google, Amazon, etc. pay similarly. Combined, these companies employ > 100k programmers in the U.S out of maybe 3M-ish programmers

        This tweet brought to you by the latest HN thread on comp, where people re-assure themselves that $ numbers like these are basically "big fish stories" and no one makes this much money. It's fine to turn down💰. I've done it before. But please don't spread disinformation!pic.twitter.com/MiWGXMrmaJ

        Neither. I think neither of these directly affects compensation at "good" BigCos, although it's probably easier to get promoted if you've TL'd something and some people argue it's easier to get promoted as a manager.

        I suspect I'll never write anything more impactful than this post. I've had a double digit number of people tell me they made life-changing amounts of money as a result of reading this post. What fraction of people who change jobs because of this post tell me? Probably < 1%?

        Naturally, the responses I got to this were (in exonentially. decreasing order of frequency): 1. That's BS. No one makes that much {outside SF|writing code|at all} 2. Duh. Everyone already knows this, why write it up? 3. I agree. Glad word is getting out 4. This changed my life

        @danluu I'm suspicious of numbers, but the general premise is good. I've never heard of 5 year employees making 200+
