After college,<p>2 years of startup @ $90k, worthless stock (one of the first employees), long hours. Learned a lot, but definitely underpaid in stock.<p>FB @ 2014 - $230k&#x2F;yr = $150k base + $50k stock &#x2F; yr + $30k bonus.<p>FB @ 2015 - $480k&#x2F;yr = $200k base + $200k stock &#x2F; yr + ~$80k bonus.<p>Getting into the senior levels at FB&#x2F;GOOG does indeed get you 250k+ easy.<p>Friends at FB who joined the same day as me, but fresh out of college: $200k+ &#x2F; yr right now.
