Depends on the role. $500k total comp is common on the tech scale of the companies I'm familiar with. While not the $800k+ you might see at some FAANG in specific roles, it absolutely is enough to no longer consider FAANG if you're bothered even one iota by their hiring process.

Name a company. You keep being obtuse

Fortune... 3. not FAANG but in retail. Can hit $500k total comp easily, if you live on either coast.

Not according to Levels

The highest one in retail is Walmart.

Level 5 comp for Walmart is about the same as a mid level developer at Amazon and Amazon is in the middle of the pack for tech compensation.

Again you still refuse to name a company and level and numbers.

If you knew anything about this you'd know "Walmart" isn't what you search.

But if you knew anything about English you'd know "ballpark" doesn't mean "exactly equal".

You said top 3 company in retail. Walmart is the highest in the F100 in retail. Again name names if you can’t, you’re obviously full of it.

Like I said, if you don't understand what's going on here, you're not qualified to have this conversation.
