Salary Comparison
Get Your EstimateYoutube Salary
- Is anyone working in YouTube? Is that the same as Google, from the point of benefits, salary, buildings... Etc? Specifically, Youtube Zürich, do you know anyone who is working there? Can you give me his/her contact?
- I'm an L6 SWE at Google, should I leave to Amazon as a principal engineer? I have an offer from Amazon as a principal engineer at Alexa and the total comp is significantly higher. My current TC is 450, Amazon is offering around 700. I think I'm underpaid (for the market) at YouTube and it sounds like they won't try to compete with Amazon for salary. I'm torn and worried a
- YouTubers Vs Software Engineers I see a lot of people earning money through youtube channels. (Phone reviews, Primitive Cooking, Brusting Crackers, Toy Reviews, Travel Blog) and here I am struggling to solve Leetcode to get into FAANG to earn a decent salary. Considering only earning money is the moto, how do you compare our job
- What’s the big deal about product management? I see so many guys/gals want to become a PM with hopes of becoming next pichai. All these boot camps across the world are ravaging LinkedIn posting stuff and luring candidates charging ridiculous fees claiming this is the only good thing out there . I am seeing 3-5 YouTubers posting content day in d
- Entertainers make more than all of us Isn't it funny that we here on Blind think we're so special with our 300k-1M salaries when we're easily put to shame by YouTubers, Twitch streamers, and people who play pretend in front of a camera? We need to get over ourselves, I think.

- Media’s FAANG I’m talking in terms of TC, which companies are the strongest contenders? I would think YouTube, Netflix and Hulu would be a part of the mix...but I need a vowel. Any other Media/Entertainment company that pays ridiculous coin? How much do talent agents like Ari from the Entourage make? Is starting
- Is rose Han’s financial advice legit? Her course? She has a lot of followers and good reviews. But the advice is quite untraditional. Selling Option to earn side money. Buying foreign properties. Besides she claimed she was a trader before becoming a YouTuber. This is especially surprising since trader’s salary is supposed to be too good to be left
- Starting salary as an entry-level product manager in San Francisco? The average PM salary in sf is 160k but I’m scared to ask for it since I’ve only completed one 4 month long PM rotation at YouTube and only have 2 years of full time work experience. Do I have any leverage? Might get an offer from a startup on Friday.

- link Will the H1B wage-based selection be bad even for people with wage-level 2? I know many ppl are speculating that the USCIS is sticking with the random lottery for H1B this year, but according to this Youtube video (https://youtu.be/cmn8Oq-R7vY?t=346), there seem to be some possibilities of it being wage-based selection.
