Tesla Senior Software Engineer compensation?

I keep reading Tesla is not know for high salaries but then see base of 130k on Glassdoor. That seems normal for bay to me. Any else can shed some light on it?

That's low for SF Bay. I would expect 175K minimum. Their stock is overvalued so I would prefer cash over equity until it comes down to a more reasonable valuation

130k is new grad salary

100k is normal for a new grad in the Bay. 120k for a new grad at tier 1 or 2. 130k average is very low.

New eng hires in the top 5-10% (by rank) can get salaries over 200k.
