No way, I get more than that at an entry position outside of FANG. Senior software engineer pay starts at $25k/month and goes up from there.

Edit: I just noticed base pay–then yes, that's about what it'd be, but base pay tends to cap out very quickly so it's not a good measure of compensation.

I moved to the bay area at the same time as taking a senior engineering role for an Eastern European startup on $100k - feel like I missed a trick lol :P

To be fair I don't care about salaries as much as half of HN appear to, I'm quite comfortable on that with a wife on a postdocs wage too.
