I know a company that pays fresh-grad $70k-$75k base salary with 10-15% bonus almost guaranteed base on company performance (there&#x27;s a calculation behind it but the bonus amount is part of your package).<p>Microsoft, Amazon, starting salary was 85-90k to 100k+ 2-3 years ago for 2 years - 5&#x2F;7 years of experience.<p>Salesforce Intermediate&#x2F;borderline Senior SDET (SDET typically make less than SDE) starts from 100k base with a bunch of plus plus  that can boost their income to 120k-140k.<p>OpenDNS lurking well above $100k as well for intermediate developer.<p>Mogo.ca pays their front-end dev $100k base and this is a small-medium size company.<p>It&#x27;s not the norm but thanks to US-based companies, salary is moving up and up.
