Re:Ask HN: Are there “regular” SWE jobs that pay $200k+? by callmeed on Sunday March 06, 2022 @11:24PM (#30584210)
At least where I’m at–which is a tier or two below FAANG companies to many–you hit 200k at L3 and L4 SWE roles (staff and principal). Usually that’s gonna require 5+ years of experience. Senior SWEs (L2.5) touch 200 for high COL locations. Keep in mind this is base salary and doesn’t include bonuses (10%ish) or RSUs.

Shameless plug: I have SWE roles open at every level on some small teams doing cool stuff at Indeed. Feel free to email.

I'm at a company that is about one tier below FAANG and I'm making 250 total at a senior 1 role. Or I was before the stock market started tanking, now I'll be making about 220.
