### Comment:
I used to be a software engineer at Google before going back for grad studies at CMU. It really doesn't pay THAT well. I mean, the equity is really nice, especially since I got vested before the insane rally, but the salary is decent and nothing great.  
  
 Total comp is around 200k.

### REPLY:
Yeah in return for the 'prestige' you get less pay. F that.
