If by mid level you mean well tenured L6, then sure.

If by mid level you mean actual mid level, like L4, then no.

If by typical you mean someone not working at Google or Facebook, then no.

I don’t think l6 is a good definition of typical. Only 10% of SWEs are at 6 and above. 50% are at least L5, making that the median grade, and therefore a pretty good definition of “typical”.

That's sort of my point, L5 SWEs aren't making 500K anywhere.

> 50% are at least L5

I don't think half of software engineers are senior or above.

At Google they are. Half are below L5, half are L5+, 10% are L6+.

I think they are since you are senior when you have 5-10 years of experience.
