Having lived in Seattle and knowing several software engineers at various companies, I would have to say Triplebyte's numbers are being inflated by the FAANG companies. I have one friend at Microsoft that is making probably 160 to 180ish right now, and another friend at a startup that is making between 80 and 100. Most other engineers make around what you've been offered. I really would take Triplebyte's numbers with a grain of salt.

80 to 100 is insultingly low for even a startup in Seattle. Sure, some are able to get away with it like Energysavvy, but only bottom tier engineers should put up with it.
Funding is month-to-month, essentially. Not sure how long they'll last. But I agree, its very low.
Why can EnergySavvy get away with it?
Because there are enough people that don't know their own market value to fill their ranks, I guess.
Damn they are getting ripped off.
