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).

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

I'm really not sure what the point of highlighting the 1%-5% of earners is. Like of course they're making a lot, they got offers at all 6 of these companies and worked at a unicorn before! Most devs don't even get interviews at most of these companies.

Your blog is so interesting it's worth the effort to - open new browser window - unmaximize it - narrow it by hand - copy and paste the URL in order to make it readable.

Wow. Only two years of experience gets you these astronomical numbers? I can't even.

That's like 3 time what I'm making as a tenured assistant professor at La Sorbonne. Just comparing the base salary.
