This is for Seattle area only. UNORDERED Total Comp Updated 3/18 Facebook Google L5 $330,000 Amazon L6 $340,000 (averaged over 4 years) Apple Hulu Uber HBO Salesforce Microsoft.

330 for Google, a bit lower for Facebook, if we’re talking about median at L5
Alibaba 400K
Missing Valve and Lyft
Please add to the AMZ averaged salary “if you make it to 4yrs” - what percentage of people hold out that long?
Let’s ask Amazonians.
What do you imply by this?
Lyft median is probably about 350 for T5.
Twitter 380
Nobody updates for uber?
Gosh, can't believe Alibaba is the top of the list.

What is it with all the damn “list comp packages for x” on Blind. It’s as if each company is only rated/evaluates on its ability to pay, and screw the culture, work, stability, long-term upside, WLB, etc, etc. If money is that important and the only variable to you then start your own company (or join a very early stage startup) - that’s the only way to build meaningful wealth (fuck-you money in other words). At most of these companies listed above people get paid pretty well - much better than other work - and really meaningful, impactful, good work, and just going above-and-beyond *does* get significantly rewarded, but hardly ever in as short-term as a single year total-comp number would show. Example - map out Zuck’s, Jeff Dean’s, or Satya’s total comp package from when they were mid-level engineers to now. Please grow up a little and get some (life) experience! Smell the roses for a while :)
Some people have families they are supporting and sadly compensation is the key metric, and if you have limited time to search for work, this is a helpful step, imo. This wasn’t intended as a means for people to brag, etc. Was meant to aid in job searching and what companies would be a fruitful search, etc.
I get that, but even in that case there’s *still* more important things to consider. WLB (time with kids/family), health insurance (deductibles/coverage), job stability, etc, are all IMO more important than final take-home pay.
