I’ve heard of Austin as a great spot for tech, but I’m not seeing it in the numbers on Glassdoor. It seems like you need to get to director-level positions to break 200k according to the data there.

What’s the top level senior IC comp in Austin, and where would I find it?

Yes, I know Google, Amazon, etc have small offices there... but there’s very little data about how those offices compare to their HQs.

    Senior SDEs at Amazon in Austin make the same as Seattle. 250+ is pretty common total comp

    The tech teams based in Apple Austin are absolutely shit. Very political and offshoots of menial teams in Cupertino. I know a few who moved from Austin to Cupertino to join my org.

      There’s definitely a difference between Austin and Cupertino teams. Not sure what role you’re speaking about, but it may be due to Austin employees, in IC roles, having roots as call center / phone reps.

    There are few companies who give $210k+... but very very few... ended up switching to FAANG to cross 250 mark..

    If you are very smart and working on new tech stacks, the most common TC i saw 175k... well, it's a lot of $ comparing to bay area
