      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/ …

      Me: Conservative $ estimate @ big companies. BigCo employees: Yep, very conservative. Internet: Impossible! No one makes that much. #talkpay

      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

      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.

      I was thinking about this - it has to be more, right? Looks like 75% chance of getting hired, given the application process. GAFA + MSFT and big startups... Assuming where he applied is a random sample, doesn't that account for more than 5% of all SWE positions?

      There's no way it's 1%; seems higher than 5%. There are supposedly ~3m programmers in the U.S. Google alone has ~30k engineers, so that's already 1% just at Google. Given typical interview pass rates (< 10% net), it's plausible that most programmers can get an interview.

      Ok, not all of Google's engineers are in the US, but most are, so that's still *a lot* from a single company and Amazon probably employs a comparable number of engineers (within a factor of 2) and they have a higher fraction in the U.S.

      "OP", I've had multiple people tell me they took a job at one of these places after reading something I wrote. Probably < 1% of people who get a job tell me. Most people don't know what these companies pay (see other replies to me) and don't think they can get an interview.

          I was referring to this specific screenshot since it's unlikely anyone at Amazon/Microsoft/ most places makes this much at year 2.

          At least in my experience at university almost everyone knows they pay a lot yet only a small percentage (10%-15%) get high paying jobs in the US. At less well known schools I think it can be closer to 1%. The biggest hurdle is normally getting an interview.
