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.

400k+
Adobe / 5.5 / 455k / levels.fyi
Airbnb / L5 / 444k / levels.fyi
LinkedIn / Staff / 429k / levels.fyi

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.

    If you are going to do this can you please normalize for cost of living? Thanks. Those 400k+ people in Silicon Valley quickly become 150k people in most other places. I bet my standard of living is equivalent to theirs and I make half that.

      these Texas and North Carolina Mofos will say anything and everything to make themselves feel better about their low-ass salary. @AMD 1M is Cali is the same as 130k in Texas. Go to sleep now, I think now you'll get a good night's sleep.

      anyone saying 400k in SF is equal to 150k in any other part of the country has no idea wtf they're talking about and should be immediately discounted.

  • Friend just got an E5 offer from Facebook Seattle. TC is about $520k.
    OP’s post is too conservative.

      WLB consists mostly of the individual and the culture/norms in the workplace. Obviously you can only focus on the latter, so....

      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?
