Either I was: 1) seriously underpaid at Google, 2) things have changed a lot in the past half year or 3) the stats do not reflect real averages.
Can you really make a million bucks with just 10 years experience as a T7 at Google? What does a "Senior Staff SWE" do? Are there a lot of them?
You will not be hired as T7 either. Your comp may exceed T7, but not your level.
Yes, you can make a lot of money at Google.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hi, thanks for making such a helpful site! My feedback would be: * Would love to see the salary numbers without clicking for easy comparison * I don't like how clicking around fills my browser history and adds back button clicks

The expectation for each level is: L3: you are expected to do projects assigned to you well L4: you are expected to lead a project in your team well L5: you are expected to lead a project across multiple teams in your organization well L6: you are expected to lead a project across multiple organizations well
I think the L6 engineer is basically a CTO role in many other companies. L7 is even beyond that.

Maker here, posting this as a top-level comment for visibility. Lots of folks are interested in the salary information alone.

I don't see a way to search within a company. Like salary of software engineers at level E5 at Facebook.
Hi, I'm one the makers of Levels.fyi. Happy to answer any questions and would love to hear feedback! We have a lot of features in the coming months that we think folks will love!
Worth mentioning, though - several tech companies intentionally and transparently attempt to pay more for some locations. My company, for instance, pays way more if you're in Silicon Valley than pretty much anywhere else.
It'd be nice aggregate, summarize, and compare companies based on a single location.
Here's a slightly related open question: Are Engineers in the US just much richer than in the UK? For perspective, I started my career with an MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering as a Hardware Design Engineer at £35k (I out-earned most of my fellow graduates). It seems like these salaries are just comically disjointed from my entire experience of life. Can anyone here speak to the differences? Everything I'…
I worked for Google in London and SF, the was a significant salary difference but also some personal growth. Still it could be at least 2-3x
Or is it more like, 2-3x most of which goes into rent, health insurance and local taxes?
