CA specific question. What is the average base salary for a Sr and a Staff designer? I am not looking at TC as that varies significantly everywhere. I am a Staff product designer with over 10yrs of experience. I feel I got low balled big time. Would like to get an idea so that would help my next move. (Not originally from the bay, hence didn’t have an idea with the numbers). If you can please mention your YOE, location (please mention LA or SD region too, this will help others), current base, will appreciate. Current base - 165 Loc - Bay Area YOE - 10+
Do you think “location specific” questions are as applicable now in Cali that a lot of the FAANG companies HQ’d in Cali are taking a more remote based approach compared to other companies?
To an extent, yes, but the applicability seems to be waning.
Not all companies are. They are mostly doing hybrid but you are still getting Bay Area salaries.
Staff with 10yrs I assume should be 180-220+ base range depending on company size.
Wow I def got low balled then. Dang it.
It greatly depends on the company... 165k is a great salary.
Just got a new job: Location: SF but remote, living in Irvine Base: 155 TC: 205 YOE: 6, but in agencies
Wow I wanna move to Irvine too. Is your company hiring more designers? Lol Do you like Irvine better?
They are, yeah. Irvine is nice but it’s hard to get a high paying job unless you work remotely for Bay Area companies. And agencies here pay badly. There are a few like blizzard and weed maps that are local though
Base: over 200k LOC: Bay Area YOE: 8 / senior role
Ic4 or ic5?
At Google, 10yrs of impressive work experience with an outstanding interview loop might land you somewhere between L5 and L6, TC in bay area would range from 300 to 450k for those levels (of you negotiate with a competing offer from another FAANG)
Are you a designer?
I can attest to that. At Google now, TC > 700k. This includes stock growth.
Base: 190 TC: 272 Yoe: 9 Loc: Southern CA but remote
Do you work for a Bay Area company?
I do
Staff Base 225k 6 yoe
Lol FAANG blowing everyone out of the water
Staff 400-450k TC starting
Tag me in
!! Hope you don’t mind but...what’s your salary? TC 400k seems a lot compared to many others
