I get Airbnb and Stripe being up there for entry-level engineers, those companies are almost printing money.
But Lyft, haemorrhaging money, is top of the list, and Oracle - the company no-one in the Bay Area or on HN seems to work for, and everyone seems to hate - is 5th? Are there legions of quietly-well-paid Oracle engineers out there just keeping their heads down and getting on with the job? Why isn't Oracle in the more senior lists - they make complex and expensive databases, isn't that something you need to pay a lot of money to get really smart people to work on?
And Netflix, which I thought famously paid very well, only pops up in one tier?
It's more likely I'm misinformed than this list is wrong, but I find this pretty surprising.
