You can pretty much substitute Google with Facebook in the article. I think Base is about the same for new grads at most startup too (maybe 10-20K more). But obviously they got Options instead of RSU.
Bragging that you and wife earns tons? 
Total $1M? 
Such jealousy… 
Red with envy.
Then go buy some more Fb stock. Got to match what they get for free…
We are still slaves of W2 jobs, unfortunately. Until that day …
Already in the hell with them. Buy more would end up in 18th!
18th? On the street where I live?
700k-1M a year for double income earners. I am wondering what a recession and layoff would do. Maybe the top earners will have a job but the stock grant can be worth less.
The engineering pay is amazing as the world is under attack by technology
Many colleges have been increasing intake annually to increasingly demand forecast. There would come a time when supply would be more than demand, your guess is as good as mine as to when. My guess is at least 5 more years.
There will come a time when robots replace all these engineers and they will all lose their job. So no need to be envious, @hanera
My envy comes from they got to earn huge pay for the same hand-to-mouth job that I have decades ago. They got to enjoy huge houses/cars and/or tons of RSUs/rentals while I have zero bank account balance.
Don’t worry… I’m sure any of them is willing to quit their job in exchange for the Aapl portfolio and 2 Cupertino houses… 
Not any time soon.
Why don’t you jump back into the job maket?
I am in an age group that invest in the youth 
Just 2-3 years back, $600K in your pocket. C’mon you know you want it.
You need a certain skill set to do these jobs. @hanera is so old that he has become incompetent. That’s why he is full of envy.
BS. He’s sharp as ever.
