Good god. I don’t get paid enough. I’m a level 5 software engineer, and I’m making waaaaay less than that.
But also my job is extremely laid back, and I don’t have to put in many hours. And I make enough that I’m happy. So I have no intention of leaving any time soon.
That l7 input their total comp as their base, unless they’re in a unique position to take it all as base and no stock. That’s about average to low total comp for that level.
The fine article bounces back and forth between base salary and total compensation (salary + bonus + stock grants). It’s hard to be certain of which they are actually using, but I work in Silicon Valley and this seems more like total comp than base pay. (Stock and bonuses can more than double total comp.)
