He has been with Google for the past 10 years, but still making 250k.
Everyone knows that the longer you stay at a company you’re getting paid significantly less than your peers hired recently. They could leave and find another gig but why leave a cushy job (that’s known for good WLB) where you have rapport with everyone and make more than 95% of people in this country? The vast majority of people aren’t that driven (excluding myself) and would be more than content and happy if they worked for Google and had this income.
Also given the tenure he/she likely has ton of stocks which would be worth millions, this cushy job could just be a simply way to get insurance while having more than enough $$ to retire early.
Definitely not millions with that TC. The cost of living is too high. Maybe $1M-$1.5M.
Probably works 20 hrs a week and has several mill worth of stock
And probably their 20 hours equate 50h of a new hire in a similar position, because they know the system and the people. This is goals.
Base salary for L6 SWE in NYC is not $150k regardless of performance, sorry
Now it is 19.99 per hour, just as working for Burger King, Wendy, you know chatgpt can do well at L7!
Look at salary breakdown. Perfect round figures? Looks fake. Maybe a recruiter planted.
Since when has 250k become a low salary. I worked for 73K in 2017 in US and I was not poor. Could afford renting a decent accommodation, bought a car and even saved money with vacations to Vegas, LA. I am new to Blind but see people posting salaries of 400K and I feel like I have been living under a rock
Something is very wrong with that data point. Probably they entered the wrong level or it's fake.
sounds more plausible if L4
A new grad L3 will make 150k, there's no way it's even L4 base
That looks closer to the salary of a L5. But this also depends on a few conditions: how long he’s been an L6 for, economic conditions when he was promoted (which affects the pay increase to the next level), and the pay increase he got based on performance every year since he last got promoted.
more like l4, or even some cases l3
There’s no way this is accurate, the l6 engineer band is 220-280ish just for base. At Uber we discovered that HR reached out to levels to have them adjust info, so I wonder if this is another example of HRs padding the stats with low numbers to bring the average down
You know what happens when you assume.
