Companies Paying 300k+ For Senior SWE
Lots of posts online say "competitive pay" but then you find out it's 100k + 0.01% equity in SF.
Please contribute senior roles (at least partially overlaps with Google L5 or Facebook E5) in the following format:
Company / Level / TC (not counting stock appreciation, since this is for people looking for jobs) / Source (levels.fyi, link, or "personal")
If this list is popular, I'll keep it updated.

About suggestions:
Thanks for the suggestions eveyone. Popular suggestions:
- Indicate work life balance
- Adjust for cost of living; Non-SF TC
- Make leveling more consistent (Added TODO)
- List for different seniority / different role
The main challenges here are:
- finding the data
- presenting it in a summarized way
Let me know if you can think of a way to solve either of these problems.
Levels.fyi - Compare career levels across companies
comments
OP’s post is too conservative.
Figure out the KPI’s like, PTO, {m,p}aternity, insurance, WFH feasibility, leave of absence feasibility, etc.
Even keep it vague at first. Rate red/yellow/green, figure out weighting, and assign one of the 3 colors as the grade.
Iterate from there..... profit?
