I've never heard of any big tech co fully subsidizing healthcare. I pay ~$160/week between health/vision/dental

[ProfessorLayton]

Is $160/week just for your coverage? I've worked at small startups and medium sized public companies, and my healthcare coverage costs have been far less than that.

[ghaff]

I can believe that for a good family plan. But that's probably more than you'd pay without a subsidy for a pretty good individual plan.

[oh_sigh]

Correct - I should have mentioned that is for 4 people(total) covered

[antisthenes]

Well, that changes the math entirely.

A marketplace equivalent plan that's not subsidized would probably cost ~$1500+/month or more for a family of 4, with a decent level of coverage.

If you subtract $8320/year from a big tech salary, I'd wager you'll still find yourself quite handsomely compensated.

[oh_sigh]

Absolutely, but that doesn't mean I pay nothing out of pocket for healthcare.

[Eumenes]

Many companies pay 100% of premium costs for you and your dependents

[oh_sigh]

I can only speak from experience - I've worked at 3/5 FAANGs and none of them did

[Eumenes]

yeah this would be more mid stage startup I've found, like 750-1500 employees, pre IPO

[iancmceachern]

Many don't also

[Eumenes]

Its also like <$200 per month for most companies, pretty good for someone making north of $200k.
