I think people are actually really out of touch with bigco pay scales. 250k is pretty easily achievable in a bigco. At Facebook you&#x27;ll hit 250k+ in total comp at level 5, at LinkedIn you&#x27;ll hit 250k+ in total comp at Staff level. If you also factor in stacking allotments of RSUs, your pay can easily exceed 300k at these levels given a few years of tenure.
