lol, which FAANG is this? I have friends that joined Goldman at the same time as I started working, and I make more and work less.

If you think everyone at FAANG makes 500k at mid-senior SWE (i.e Associate) level, you're smoking something.

~$500k is what some Amazon L6's and most L7's make. Don't think you can hit that in most Finance positions until VP level, unless you're in Quant finance in hedge funds but then the SWEs make that much too.

SWEs working on infra dont make that at hedge funds or prop shops. It isn’t tied to PnL

Goldman banking associates do not make 500k lmao. you are smoking something

500 at Goldman is like VP with some tenure, which would be similar to E6 at Facebook

Hell Goldman sales and trading managing directors make 750-900k a year, which is what a good E7 at Facebook makes, both usually reached by age 33-35 by high achievers.
