When I looked into it and talked to some hiring managers, the big names were offering cash comp similar to total comp for big tech, with stock (sometimes complicated arrangements that were not options or RSUs) on top of that. I’m talking $400k cash for a senior engineer with equity on top.

Big names where? Inside of openai? What does that even mean?

The only place you can get 400k cash base for senior is quantfi

Please show not tell

> netflix will also pay that much all cash

Okay that's true

Netflix is just cash, no stock. That’s different from 400k stock + cash.

That statement is false for the reasons I said. I’m not sure why your point matters to what I’m saying

[vlovich123]

Because op’s usage of base implies base + stock. including a place where base = total comp is really misleading and is just being unnecessarily pedantic about terminology.

OP is correct that a base cash of 400k is truly rare if you’re talking about typical total comp packages where 50% is base and 50% is stock.

quantfi doesn’t pay stock at all usually so i disagree that it implies cash + stock

Amazon pays 400k cash lol. Many companies do

Up until 2 years ago you were extremely wrong and you're still wrong: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-07/amazon-is...

It's amazing to me how many people are willing to just say the first thing that comes to their head while knowing they can be fact-checked in a heartbeat.
