> But if you get hired, you can be quite sure, that you will never make more than $250k a year.

From https://www.levels.fyi/

Google (total comp):

Level 4 - $266k

Level 5 (Senior) - $353k

Level 6 (Staff) - $484k

... and similarly at other FAANG companies.

If you're good/lucky, you can make it to Senior in 3-4 years as a new engineer.

It used to be that Level 5 -> 6 was a difficult jump, but nowadays there are many Level 6s and 7s. At Level 7, even your base salary >$250k a year.

I would be curious to know how many engineers are at senior level or higher at google.
