Asking for a friend: How much does Google pay its hardware engineers in Mountain View compared to SFEs? He has a PhD in his field (EE) and 3 years of experience, 2 years of which is in a startup. #( google salary TC )
Why can’t your “friend” ask?
Because he works at a startup with very few employees. It’d be extremely easy for everyone at that company to figure out who is trying to make a move. He doesn’t want to risk that.

Update: Trans Coworker Stealing Breast Milk
Hardware engineering positions at Google etc tend to pay less than SWE. If he's L4, he'd probably get an offer around 140K base 140K RSUs.
Okay, but will he be offered an L4 given that he has a PhD and 3 YOE? Wouldn’t it be L5 or L6?
No, but could be L3 - we down level people
