Ask HN: How much do you make at Facebook/Apple/Netflix/Google?

21 points·throwaway_fang··8 comments

I am curious as to how these numbers have changed in the last couple of years.

I work for Google and make ~ $300k every year (160 base+salary and 140 stock). I am a L4 and have 5 years of experience out of college.

Not at any of the aforementioned companies, but just for fun...

L6 at pre-IPO SF-area unicorn, 11 years out of college, 3 at current company. 200K base salary, no bonus, but RSUs that would be worth about 1M/year if we were to IPO tomorrow at the current funny-money valuation, but right now they are worth exactly zero. Whether or not they ever become worth more than zero remains to be seen.

Time to be ashamed of my not-west-coast salary again.

My company moved me away from the East Coast and didn't even bother with the West Coast and while I was able to negotiate a salary increase.. moving me the mountainous desert warranted them to pay me far less. Can't really complain... can't say I'm rich, but I am making a good living. Whereas living on the coast cost me about 1 out of 2 of my paychecks for rent, I now have a mortgage that costs me about half of one paycheck (though my lady and I split the costs and charge her adult children rent as well).

I work beyond my job to try and make that East Coast or West Coast salary in my own time.

When people say they make 140 stock, you mean you got stock options worth $140k and if you don't have to spend a penny to cash it out outside of taxes?

It could be RSUs

So, are these stock options that's added on top of base salary every year?

Humble brag?

Good god. What do you work on?
