Re:Tell HN: Job interview canceled due to looming recession by michaelrpeskin on Tuesday May 24, 2022 @08:25PM (#31499171)
It’s a pretty wide range. For juniors just out of college, I think we’re near 80-100, I’m at a principal level and am close to 200. We’re looking mostly for junior to mid. We’re a bit top heavy right now. It’s not SV levels plus equity like they get, but we don’t have unlimited budgets like the FAANGs. The owners just take a normal salary and all of the profits go to the employees as year end bonuses. So it’s pretty fair, I think.

My entry-level base salary, admittedly at a FAANG, ignoring equity/bonus, was $127k real.

So on the one hand, that you say you're doing $80-100k sounds low, to me. But $200k for a principal eng. sounds not too bad¹. So IDK.

¹it sounds "inline with what I'm making now, adjusted for experience / title differences. But it's crap compared to the current housing market.
