https://www.levels.fyi/trajectory.html I am just shocked, how reliable is this data
its 479k
They need a gender and diversity filter on that website
Why? So you can pull a racist card?
Not reliable. Google's T5 data is way too high.
Believable: I'm L4 swe joined less than a year ago and my comp is already 420ish. Why shouldn't an L5 be 500+?
whats the breakdown
Based on initial grant no doubt. Ongoing refreshes for L4 are usually at or under 100k/year
Not reliable
Probably fake. Median L4 is around 260k and low end of L5 is ~300k. I highly doubt top end of L4 will go past 320-330k (ignoring stock growth) and even if it did, it’s useless data for the rest of us considering it’s very unlikely that google will offer us a top of the line L4 offer anyway.

Like I said dude, who cares? Maybe you had a really strong competing offer at a higher level and so Google came in with that they offered you. Its an extreme outlier for most people to the point that the single datapoint you’re adding here doesn’t matter much other than showing google’s ability to pay. For expectation calibration, 250k L4 is probably a good start.
Everything seems way too high. Fb E6 shows 800k+ and fb E7 shows 2.3M+!! 😱
Some may have put their entire grant to yearly comp (not considered vesting schedule).
Or it’s just a few people who’ve been there a long time and have seen crazy appreciation in stock price
This shouldn’t be surprising. I think this is their current comp (as opposed to their comp in their offer). With a few refreshers under your belt, this is very achievable. I’m at E4 at FB and make over $400k.
I'm making 400k as a recently promoted L5 without any L5 stock refresh.
I think you need to get yourself checked. it says 417k, not 500k.
You need to switch to google. Webpage defaults to Facebook when you click on it
good point! 479k, as per OPs updated title. I'd say this is 70th percentile.
