No, that's not junior engineer territory, even at the BigCos.

Yes, it is. $170-200k in comp per year is the baseline at a company like FB or Google. It’s typically broken down into something like 105-115k base, 40-50k liquid stock vesting per year, 10-15% yearly bonus, and some kind of one time signing bonus given as a lump sum on the start date.

That’s for someone fresh out of a top school who hasn’t even negotiated at all. There are many new grads in the bay area that recieve this kind of comp.

That's what all the college grads I knew at Google 2016-2017 were making, probably closer to $200k unless they started trimming the RSU grants because of $GOOG appreciation.
