#2200k+ for 2 years experience in the valley? That is crazy. This guy is overpaid. How realistic is this? I work in the valley I have roughly a decade of experience and I am definitely under 200k.
Am I getting shafted?

Interview elsewhere and find out. Seriously, it's the only way to know.

what is your position? 200k isn’t that much these days when you take inflation into account.

I have 8yr experience and saw offer for total comp of 225k/yr in bay area. No concurrent offers, non-faang company, publicly traded. Salary is extremely variable is my takeaway.

Anybody willing to pay me 200k+? I'm a python expert. I know golang. I can do fullstack work but my preference is for the backend. I'm basically a polyglot, willing to do anything from scala, haskell, python, lisp, you name it.
I have good fundamentals, and extensive experience diving into and navigating large/old codebases.

You get paid what the "market" can afford to pay you. Lots of CEOs whose companies are going nowhere, have gone bankrupt get paid millions.

#9>Late last year I interviewed at six top companies in Silicon Valley in six days, and stumbled into six job offers.
Misleading. He applied at 20 companies, interviewed at 6, got 6 offers.

There must be some pockets with insane salaires but for most people 200K is pretty high. How many non-execs really make these high salaries?
