These look ludicrously high for SDE II. https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Airbnb,Pinterest,Amazon&track=Software%20Engineer Is it just because they haven't IPO'ed yet? Still, 200 cash a year is pretty good. But given how long they've been around, the chance that they'll IPO and the stock will immediately plummet is pretty unlikely, right? If this is what their comp plan is pre-IPO, I'm guessing it would change pretty drastically post-IPO? Maybe down to 220-250?
Not sure about Pinterest, Airbnb number is right on. For whoever don’t believe the number, go and get an offer from those company and you will see.
Looks right if not slightly dated. 200 cash is standard. Stock value is still a risk and many tech ipos do immediately plummet after ipo.
Pretty accurate. Though i put like a 50% discount on paper money.
They look accurate, xrefed a few of my friends working/offered there. Their (esp Pinterest) stock value should be under scrutiny though.
Working at Pinterest. The number is accurate.
I checked my company in levels.fyi and the number seems accurate.
Sampling bias... the number of people reporting are few and most likely outlier offers + fake numbers
Definitely possible. That's one thing I don't like about that site. I think people also conflate TC with TC target. So if stock blows up, they think they should be earning 100k/year in stock, when in reality, the intent of the grant might have been a value vested around 60k.
