Title says it all. I've done some research. I have seen the generic L5 post on blind showing something like $400k 99th percentile. Anyone care to share some L5 manager numbers with me publicly or privately? 10yoe I want to change my job but my megacorp pays me like $400k to work in a low COL area so I'm going to want like $450k minimum to account for COL differences. Otherwise I'm taking a step back which is a harder pill to swallow.

Crossed a line with my boss
So you make $400K in Bentonville or Austin? Why would you give up that millionaire luxurious life in those places to live like a pauper (relatively speaking) just for the Google name, unless it was for $600K+?
Good question. One: I'm sort of ready for something new. Two: I'm sort of fed up with Walmart politics. Most of the ics don't know it but we totally do stack ranking and forced curve fitting behind the scenes. No matter how fucking amazing my team is I will have to give X% of them "needs improvement" which will torpedo their bonus. It's gotten to the point where I've seriously considered adding "ballast" (a shitty employee to give the bad review to). I sit in fucking meetings with executives watching them mindlessly cargo cult Amazon without having a clue why they are doing what they are doing. Walmart is absolutely a first tier company but it's a 2nd tier ecommerce/tech company. My team is pretty good but my coworkers are a whole are fucking dumb as rocks. They build a website for a living and most of them couldn't tell you the difference between a header and a cookie. My schedule is fucking ridiculous. I've been riding the edge of burnout for 2 years. So yeah: I'd like the Google name on my resume. When I do retire in a couple years I'd like to be able to tell people I was an engineer for Google. I'd also like to be in the presence of people I can learn from. I'd like to be somewhere where on-call is compensated. But also yeah I like money so I'd love to squeeze $600k out of Google. I just save it (I'm on track to retire at 35) so honestly as long as they cover increased housing costs I'm good.
