Despite being relatively familiar with the market, entry-level dev compensation still blows my mind when I step back for a minute #talkpaypic.twitter.com/4SNEKiu2UZ

Well people also use it to inflate. Also, stock today is not stock tomorrow so is a poor reflection, imho. Personally, cash is king.
IME, if you talk about a total comp number that's normal for mid-level engineers (L5 at FB/Google), ppl often think it's the inflated number

Even though it's common to see numbers like $170k salary, $100k+/yr stock for 4 years, $50k/yr multi-year signing bonus, plus misc bonuses
-
Again just IME, I'm much more likely to meet people who refuse to believe that comp is what it is today than ppl who name inflated numbers.
-
With the ratio of stock/salary/bonus BigCos are offering now, annual total comp often converges to total outstanding unvested stock anyway.

Agree that I'd rather just get cash, but outside of Netflix not many non-finance companies will pay cash.
-
And finance companies usually leave most of comp as bonus, which is even less sure than RSUs -- bonus is totally discretionary (excl 1st yr)

But usually the paid number is higher or similar at those companies due to big sign-on grants, smaller annual grants.
