I'm a senior recruiter, definitely a top performer within my company. I have this ability to estimate any persons salary (eng, marketing, UX, IT) relatively accurate but I don't know how my salary compares in the market. It's frustrating at times and i just want to make sure i'm comparable.

Can anyone shed some light on a recruiters salary in the bay area?

Total comp is around 150 (base + rsu's).

    You know what I am going to be honest with you here. I had no idea how much a recruiter makes but after seeing the comp numbers and remembering the huge comp packages they negotiate with engineering folks younger than them, I wonder if recruiters ever feel depressed? I feel excruciatingly depressed when I find out 9 year younger makes same money as I do. And that is “same salary”.

      It is a choice really, if you can chose between being a recruiter or a medical doctor you would choose to be a doctor right. The only reason you won't is because you cannot afford to invest in the education or handle the work to apply, study, and get into the rat race yourself.

      I cannot afford to take time off and study the hot new field for another 100k raise, good for the young guys, congratulations to them. They earned it.

    I’ve heard total comp for senior recruiters at top companies is minimally 200k/250k+.
