>Why compete with FAANG trying to pay new grads $300k

I am pretty sure even FAANG dont pay $300K for fresh grad.

Yeah they don’t pay $300K for a good undergrad who just graduated. More like $200K I would say (base + equity). It varies of course. But $300k would be a hell of a good offer.

And even that $200K is not cash income, but includes restricted stock.

Also $200K is on a higher end and depends on other offers, etc. Average is around $180K.

RTS and similar sites usually say $250-$300k all in for SWE new grad. Are those sites not reliable?
