It seems that the TC for Big N companies has decreased in the last 2-3 years. Is it true, or were people earlier pulling out TCs from their asses because there was no platform like Blind earlier? If true, I am wondering if this is a cyclic thing or is it something to be concerned about? Is it that the "software bubble" is finally bursting? Would love inputs from experienced people who know about new grad salary trends over the past few years. Google in Seattle - 104k. Amazon in Seattle - 108k. MSFT - about the same. Wasn't it higher in the past few years? TC: 0, YOE: 0 :(
Microsoft increases new grads’ base salary by about 1-2K every year typically. “Is that enough?” is a completely different question.
These are your numbers or from hearsay? If it’s yours, did you negotiate? Were you an intern? I highly doubt that’s TC. Where is the stock grant? Signing bonus?
That's just the base pay, from roommate, friends and fellow students I know personally. Also, I've seen posts on leetcode and blind confirming the numbers.
TC hasn't decreased. A couple graduating batches just lucked out . Stocks just grew ridiculously in 2016 and 17. For example, Google used to offer 250 GSU to new grads because stock price was 530ish and this would be 125k-ish. But then stock started going up and it took them a while to adjust GSU grants to be same 120-150k range. Now, they offer $ amounts instead of GSU units to new grads at least.
Believe it’s been about the same last few years, 155-160k TC not negotiated for new grad not counting signing. Only change is higher base and lower stock.
G offering 104k in Seattle. You think the base was lower earlier? I really doubt..
Don’t know about Seattle. MTV it was 116k last year for base. Year before that is was 112k year before that 110k. Was 105k back in 2014/2015. But I agree I think offers are being reduced in general.

Best LCOL or MCOL city?
2015 my friends in Seattle started with 102 or 104. But stock has quadrupled too. They got around 400$
Would you know why it has remained the same? Also, I hear that the rsu offered have been reduced
