    For Principal SDE in Seattle, top of band is 590k. Sr. SDM top of band a bit higher, probably (removing figure since Seattle managers below are saying it is lower). Bay Area, bands are about 10-15% higher. So negotiate accordingly. Keep in mind, basically no refreshers or raises during your first 4 years, stock price increases are your raises, so up front negotiation is key.

      Jenga can you tell me how you came up with this? Would like to do a calculation as I might be getting a job in Seattle.

      Cost of a house you need ÷ 3 because you'll need to make a third of the cost of the house to qualify for the loan . ×2 because this is an elite position, you should ask for a lot ! Also because in high tech areas the cost of living is so high . It is very common for people to earn 1/3 the price of their house per year.

    380 sounds low but I'm crazy . I think you should take the price of the house you need .. divide by 3 . Then multiply by two for the area you're in. That's what I'd ask for ... So maybe 500k?
