In total comp - yeah. It's insane. That's what the OP twitter post is talking about. If we see a stock market crash, a lot of that will evaporate, but there is a really large cash component and RSUs are buoying everything to really high levels right now.

Just a new grad thread from Reddit:

Anecdotally, my friend who just closed on their 3rd house runs engineering recruiting for a large public Bay Area company (and used to run their new grad hiring) so they've told me specifically what that company pays for grads of their target schools which they've obviously honed based on competing offers from other tech companies.

I heard of that happening when I graduated, which was in 2016, so I would not be at all shocked if it's more common now.

Look at a new grad compensation thread on r/cscareerquestions if you don't believe it.
