I just got off the phone with a recruiter (curiously she was located in Jalisco, Mexico) for an embedded software role. When she told me the base salary range for the role was 95k - 115k, i had to politely end the call (the tole is in the bay area too). At leadt they have a 5% annual bonus (and 401k match)!!!! But seriously there are people in thr bay area that work for that kind of money???? I am surprised...
Check the H1B salary stats. Some people earn way less than that in IT consultancy.
Sweat shop. Expect peanuts.
You are too deep in your entitled bubble so obviously it'll come as a surprise.
I wouldn’t say I’m entitled. Well paid yes but not at google or Facebook levels. This was a large publicly traded company too.
I was kind of surprised after Qualcomm I was giving me the same offer in San Diego a few years back
There are people working for $20/hr at Safeway so, yeah.
Agreed but this is an embedded software engineering position in Fremont.
Yeah not too many good companies/high paying positions are in Fremont unfortunately. In all seriousness, last year I got a call from a recruiter for a software engineer position with Safeway in the Bay Area. He told me that their most recent new hires were making about $80k TC and seemed pretty proud of that. Then I told him I already made about 2.5x more than that. He literally stopped talking for like 30 seconds. The call ended pretty quickly after that.
