Does Square pay like FANGs ?

Have an onsite interview call from Square. Wondering if it’s worth it. How much they pay for L6 software engineer? My current TC: 350k (E5)

So low ? I thought the company is doing very well

Our L6 is like L5 in other companies. So 350k for L5 isn’t that low lol

Lol serious question: how can Square responsibly pay like FANGs if we're literally less than 15-30x the size of these companies and still unprofitable? We don't. Expecting every company to pay the same as a 600B company printing money is the definition of insanity. It also doesn't make sense from a growth perspective. We have more room to grow but we should still offer the same exact comp?

I'm a high level l6 at 500k. Hopefully l7 in another year or two. Equity makes for a big band.
