It was just an example, not referring to an actual position. There isn't even an actual title called "Senior Developer" at neither Google nor Amazon. If you want a real job title to go look at, look at the pay for an L7 SDE at both G and Amazon. At Google: $270k salary, at Amazon: $160k salary (according to levels.fyi)
I swear half the comments on this site are just nitpicking "nuh uh you are wrong about this tiny one word in your comment" while ignoring the actual point of the discussion.
There's Senior SWE title. I assumed that was what you meant. They comprise the bulk of Google's engineering, and their base is about $180K. Everything else depends on performance or lack thereof.
That's fair. I meant it more of an abstract "a developer who is in a more senior position at the company" rather than explicitly someone with the title "Senior [Developer/SWE]", but I can see why my comment was confusing.
