you guys did notice that this account was created 1 hour ago, right?

[lefthander]

Yes, because I want to be anonymous. Does it mean I'm lying?

Even check glassdoor to verify: http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Senior-Software-Engin...

146k base + 32k cash + 41k stock = $220k (everyone gets bonus and stock). And this averages data before the raise Google gave everyone.

It certainly doesn't imply you're being truthful.

Glassdoor also suffers from the same problem. It's voluntary, unverifiable data. Using it as a source does not help your credibility.

I am swe 3 at google, one below senior, base 140k (supposedly maxed, but I've heard other swe 3 making somewhat more), total comp excluding benefits 230k.

As for verification, I'll bet you lots of money at 10:1 odds that these are accurate within 10k (flux depends on stock price).

[bearmf]

But 230k is very different from 400k that lefthander supposedly makes.

[lefthander]

I don't make $400k. Someone made a different account with a similar name (lefthander2) and responded with his own salary.

[bearmf]

Ah, I am sorry then. 200-250k is what I hear mid-level people at Google make.

fair enough
