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).

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.

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