The idea of starting fresh out of school at a company for $130K, doubling up to $250K seems to me ludicrous, besides for a rare few outlier roles at a rare few companies. I can say I&#x27;ve got close to 20 years of experience and I don&#x27;t make anywhere close to that.<p>Not saying there are no roles like this--just saying this probably several standard deviations from the mean, and not useful as a &quot;back of the envelope estimation of big company tech salaries in general&quot;
