In the interests of transparency..<p>That sounds like the low-end base salary for ~entry level. It probably gets topped up with ~100k bonus. There are a couple places that hire many but don&#x27;t pay well.<p>At what I think is the high end, I see about an offer per quarter of $500-900k base with $1-2M bonus (usually guaranteed for the first year) for pure technology role. Add more front office work and the bonus potential shoots up (but it&#x27;s a tough gig at the moment at least).<p>For context, non-kdb principal level roles I&#x27;ve seen on west coast top out at around $1M, mostly in RSUs, from a say a $250k base at the usual names.<p>I&#x27;ve seen offers in the $1-10M range on the east coast to build competitive technology. Amusingly, on the west coast, I&#x27;ve only seen the stereotypical &quot;be my technical cofounder and get screwed on comp&quot; offers to do so.
