That's my rough average for actual work, including meetings, which can vary a bit. I've been at the company 5 years, when I first started I worked my ass off and got a lot done, but it was frustrating seeing how slowly everything worked and how little work people did, it felt like the company actively pushed back against trying to get anything done fast. Especially coming from a startup where id be doing everything.…

In my next life, I want this. I work 4x what you do but make double. It's very often not worth it. Your priorities are right. When my cost of living goes down, I'll join you.

Glassdoor has terrible data. levels.fyi is great for big tech but very spotty for anything outside of Farangula or whatever the acronym is these days.

Not sure why this is the sentiment, perhaps because we started with FAANG. But we have much more data now representing tons of companies all across the board: https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer?country=254 Larger companies do tend to get overrepresented but it’s also due to the fact that these companies hire the most and do actually largely represent the labor market.
