> This is the average, it'd be interesting to know what's the median for a SWE is.

900k is average including janitors and HR.

Median for SWE most definitely over $1 million. Turnover of 6%? No way people stick around “only” making 500-600k new grad comp. Check levels.fyi

> Also, some high-level SWE do make 900K at Google and others

And some high-level SWEs at JS make 9 figures, not 900k.

> Double the profit per employee than Google

> Average TC of 900K

> Several unranked billionaires

it makes even OpenAI / Meta ML SWEs look underpaid
