Weird seeing yourself listed on a site like this! I imagine my co-workers could find me if they were so motivated. (this isn't a criticism of the site - just an interesting side effect of this kind of data transparency)

Yeah, it was odd to see myself listed in there, too. Although, at the moment, anyone who's interested enough to look at the H1B notice posted discretely on the wall of the kitchen at my office will see my salary, since it's my visa being transferred to our new parent company. It was a strange feeling seeing the job details and the salary listed on the communal kitchen wall, and realising it was my job and my salary.

Last time I said this I was down voted. This kinda transparency needs to be there for citizens and residents too who don't have to go through LCA process.

Nevermind, there's one making $1.5M. I just stopped looking too early.

I understand that highly compensated engineers get to solve unique challenges on grand scale, enjoy their jobs and are generally content with their professional positions. But I just can't stop wishing for those engineers using their immense knowledge, authority and financial resources to bootstrap own tech companies and improve the diversity of the tech ecosystem. They don't need venture backing, they don't have pre…

There's a whole class of problems that it only makes sense to devote resources to in the context of a large organization. Compiler, kernel, library work that makes everything a fraction of a percent more efficient is nearly unjustifiable for most small organizations, but of immense value to large companies because of the scale at which they operate.

If you happen to be interested in solving those problems, a large company can be a wonderful place to work.

There's a software engineer at Google making $1.1M. That is all.

Nevermind, there's one making $1.5M. I just stopped looking too early.

1.1M in Pittsburg is more than 1.5M in Mountain View though, so I'd stand by the first one being worth more

Yeah, is this data right? Why do they have Software and UX people making over $250k?

It's fairly common knowledge in Silicon Valley that Netflix salaries are insane.

Isn't that because they hire a very small amount of very experienced people?
