      YC asking for ways to improve the experience of working early at a startup ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17286939 … ) has a lot of people asking "Wait, are rumors of engineers at AppAmaGooFaceSoft predictably getting $400k packages true?" Yes. Yes, they absolutely are.

      Jeff, are you friends with at least one person who has worked in the last ten years at AppAmaGooBookSoft? This is your homework assignment: take that person out to dinner. Put a beer in their hand. Ask your question.

          @codinghorror I quit Google as an L4 (non-senior SWE) in Feb. Feel free to DM me if you're interested in my comp numbers. @patio11 while I have your attention, hoping to get a reply to an email I sent you a few days ago, subj: "Soliciting an offer I can't refuse"

          I don't doubt that @migueldeicaza (for example, who I do know) is making at least that much (and more) as a Distinguished Engineer but the rank and file?

          That number sounds correct for the level (Senior) all SWE rank and file are expected to reach in the Google ladder. Patrick knows what he's talking about.

          I have no doubt that that is the case. I'm just giving my sincere advice on the quickest way to collapse the probability function regarding this question, which is simultaneously one of the most important things for people in the software industry to know and very, very silly.

          A large swath of my closest friends are senior level engineers at those companies - none make even close to that.

          It sounds like @patio11 is talking about people who have spent 10+ years at those companies, only?
