Yes, 400-500k is about the right range of compensation in SF for a senior software engineer working at FAANG, and that's about my number. Also, I'm single and renter so I get no tax benefits at all. But I'm not complaining about having to pay those taxes, it's a very reasonable price to pay for the massive opportunity being given to me, which I appreciate even more coming from EU, as I was saying before.

Got it, people often mistake their marginal rates for their effective rates and think they are paying much more than they really are. The jump of only 6% seems a bit small actually for an extra $200k in income, but thats America.
