Re: Engineers Salary Data
#2There's quite a bit of incorrect information on here. If you work for Facebook, I don't think the only sensible options are to ask for a 50% (!) raise or leave.

#3The numbers seem crazy inflated. Granted I'm in the midwest, but still, this guy's throwing around millions like candy.

#4> Starting salaries for fresh software engineering graduates is now $130K-160K. For the best ones its ~$180K. If you are doing a major in anything except CS you are a *
I'm becoming convinced that this post is satire.

#5>Facebook has lost relevance to Slack, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest and Quora. If you are working at Facebook ask for a 50% raise else move to a startup.
What? This is one of the more baseless assertions I've seen recently. Regardless of how you feel about Facebook's business practices and "relevance," 1.2 billion (yes, billion) people use it every single day.[0] In 2015, its revenues were 18 billion (yes, billion) dollars. [1]
I just don't know how you can look at those figures and make an assertion you need to demand a 50% raise or quit. I think you could do a lot worse than being an engineer at FB right now (and for the foreseeable future).

Logged in for the first time in a while to bring this up too. The moment I got to this part I just closed the tab. Doesn't matter how correct or incorrect this information is. The person posting this on Quora either succeeded in Poe's Law or is a complete a* themselves. This entire post just reeks of "if you're not a STEM graduate, specifically CS, you might as well just not exist, go do something useful"

#8> All US companies hire in Canada for roughly equal pay (after tax) if not more.
It couldn't be more wrong. Even without considering the ~3/4 exchange rate or the lower income tax, the dollar value is a good 10-50% higher in the states.

Throwing out loud numbers without any evidence or source… Just look like an annoyingly fruitful attempt to gather views on Quora to me. Maybe it is satire as some suggest, but still annoying!

I mean, isn't it the goal of SE's to chase the newest hottest, thing and switch jobs every 6 months? I mean that's the real way to have a lasting impact /s
At this point I'm betting there's a real pool of engineers in SV who have never worked on a real product; they simply focus on getting in the door and then start working on the next step up somewhere else.
