Top SWE Salaries
Can anyone from these companies care to say how truthful this is? I know most tech companies give other forms of compensation, but I'm just curious on salary. https://blog.woo.io/revealed-wanted-salaries-top-software-engineers/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=KeyweeB2C2B&utm_medium=Keywee&kwp_0=1034262&kwp_4=3438894&kwp_1=1442845

It is not too useful because some companies do not offer stock (E.g. Bloomberg) while stock is a big part of the compensation in companies like G/FB/other tech companies except Netflix.
Looks like a pretty garbage list made to sway people who don't actually know anything about comp structures in tech. These numbers don't take into account other forms of comp such as stock, yearly bonus, stock refresh, sign on bonus etc. Base salaries in tech are often times only 50-70% of the full picture. With other forms of compensation included this list would be pretty different
This graph is short sighted. How could they forget that stock makes a progressively larger portion of compensation as you move up? Discussing base only is missing the forest for the trees.
Meaningless list. Even for base salary only, you can’t use one number per company w/o talking about the levels and ranges
Netflix has the highest salary because they don’t give stock, they also tend to hire more/only senior engineers. Google and Facebook should give similar amounts if you factor in stock and bonuses.
I don't think it says base salary only
At FB or G you need to be at least L6 SWE to reach that *salary*, or the top L5 + yearly bonus of 15%. But if you count in the stock grant vested per year, you can often get those numbers immediately after the grad school with the base salary of 120k at L3. Whereas the total compensation can reach 400k and 500k for L5 and L6 respectively.
