### Comment:
I know the TC is pretty standard, if not low. But isn't base pretty high for a non FAANG? I'm only L2 looking to pull into L3 soon, but my understanding was 300k base isnt typical at FAANGULTAD even at L6. I thought those guys make the typical 2-250k then get like 1mil RSUs. Even some of the wework engineers in that thread are asking why the fuck theyre paying such high base.

### REPLY:
For L6 300 is the right ballpark for base at FB/goog. But it’s all about expected returns on the RSUs... used to have lower bases and more stock because that’s a better payday down the road.  
  
 Having more cash now before IPO means they need to dangle lots of cash upfront because the RSUs aren’t as tempting as say FB in 2012.
