This list in inaccurate. Renaissance Technologies isn't even listed, and they offer very high TC. TGS Management offers way more than $500k for SWEs, I know one SWE makes $700k there.
“ In March 2022, OpenSea saw revenues of $61.33 million; in March 2023, it had revenues of $172.33k. The drop represented a whopping 99.72% fall. The platform's fees have also fallen from $193.94 million in March 2022 to $1.41 million in March 2023.” That’s OpenSea, no 11 on the list making $1.4m of monthly revenue and paying SWEs 430k salary
This data is really not that useful, or doesn't reflect what the simple title suggests it does. There doesn't appear to be any attempt to control for job level, and it's not even clear how one would control for such a thing. Public company stock and private company stock appear to be valued the same which may be true on the surface, but is a wild misrepresentation of reality (in many ways). Different companies need d…
Would accounting for years of experience control for job level somewhat? That's the only info that could be extracted
On the topic of levels.fyi, the enshitification of the product has begun. It won't let you access things unless you provide your work email? Yeah right, like I am going to do that. A bunch of other mandatory questions in the sign up process also irk me a lot.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is why total comp is so flawed, especially if it's a private company. Equity can be a $0. Should have options to see only salaries
Equity can even be negative, when considering tax.

If the numbers are wildly inaccurate as everyone seems to be saying, what are the actual highest-paying tech companies? The usual FAANG and quant-type companies everyone knows?
Recent OpenAI datapoints on Levels.fyi show something like $300K salary and $600K "stock", for hires just in the last few months... Is that RSUs at some current valuation? ISOs with strike price at current(!) but assuming stratospheric growth continues over vesting period? Something else? Is the stock value what the landslide support for the CEO-in-exile was about?
Apparently at CZI, L4 engineers reported to make less than L3 engineers. Seems like some data quality issues here
