>It seems like a bubble
Their companies make money hand over fist dude, in what way is it a bubble? Apple is fucking stingy as fuck, if they make that much pay your employees better. Can't believe software engineers fell for that bullshit and went to work for those scumbags

>those cherrypicked numbers
Go to Glassdoor if you want a more realistic estimate. Average wages aren't even half of what you see there.

I feel like the numbers are extremely inflated. US standard SE pay is like 60-100k (non commiefornia land) and experienced engineers make 100-120k. Anything over 120k is either mathematics related or management.
Christopher Kelly
If you were at that level you'd be working for one of them. And Google's L4 or L5 is probably where most people would top out. L6 and L7 are staff engineers apparently, the equivalent of an architect or principle engineer. People who handle the design and management of core products.
Landon Brown
The only way those numbers aren't inflated is if they are super senior positions in megacorps, which means there are only a dozen seats available on the entire planet.
Carson Ortiz
I wasn't suggesting I was on that "level" although I'm sure there are a fair share of people who faked it until they made it for a job at Google. My question was is the current salary in question fair given the experience and location.
Cooper Nelson
SV salary is way higher than rest of US outside of
some companies in seattle/new york.
Isaiah Williams
I don't know about that. There does seem like there are a few people who claim that they are getting paid that much after university. Take for instance,

Kayden Evans
I'm on 100k, but I'm not in the US. The tax rate and cost of living in California don't really make it worth moving for, especially as I'd need to ask for so much more to offset all that.
