Noticed a few people leaving to join companies like Alibaba in China. How is the salary there? Is it comparable to that of the states?
China’s cost of living is significantly lower than Bay Area though.
About half of comp in bay area for similar experience. The problem though, housing in Beijing etc. is more expensive than bay area.
Depending on level. If you are l5 or above at google fb, your comp at those Chinese corps will be non less.
No. Starting salary at Alibaba for new grad is about ¥20k per month. That's $3k pretax.
Ppl leaving Bay Area wouldn't take those kinda roles. More like director level
