This data is really not that useful, or doesn't reflect what the simple title suggests it does.

There doesn't appear to be any attempt to control for job level, and it's not even clear how one would control for such a thing. Public company stock and private company stock appear to be valued the same which may be true on the surface, but is a wild misrepresentation of reality (in many ways). Different companies need different distributions of skills, so would have different median salaries even though they might be paying the same amount for the same job. This doesn't account for geographical distribution, those centered in the bay area are likely going to be higher up this list despite others potentially paying much better in their regions.

The data seems wildly inaccurate. The total comp for some of the private companies seems way too high, not to mention how the equity is extremely illiquid. The total comp for nvidia seems way low given how their recent performance.

“ In March 2022, OpenSea saw revenues of $61.33 million; in March 2023, it had revenues of $172.33k. The drop represented a whopping 99.72% fall. The platform's fees have also fallen from $193.94 million in March 2022 to $1.41 million in March 2023.”

That’s OpenSea, no 11 on the list making $1.4m of monthly revenue and paying SWEs 430k salary

These numbers are wildly inaccurate. I spotchecked multiple places that I know the salaries and they're wrong.

Saw the description on the README which shows median, fair, but there's a lot of nuance such as whether or not it's a new offer, location, and level. As a consumer of this info I'd usually try to understand comp against those extra dimensions. That said, great simple table though!

Neat, thanks for sharing.

1. Posting some methodology in the README might be good, such as any filtering you did or didn't do.

2. You do have some obvious duplicates on there, e.g. `cit` and `citadel`, `jane` and `jane-street`. It's probably not worth the effort to manually clean that up, but I figured I'd mention.

Yeah, i somehow doubt clubhouse stock has any value.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Is this new offers only? Because it matters a lot. I know people who joined Facebook an year ago when the stock was at rock bottom and are now making 800k+ as a Senior, mostly due to stock appreciation. (And thus reporting as such on levels.fyi)

I don't work at TGS, but I have a feeling they're much higher on average than this shows.

I've seen their recruiting emails, they are happy to hint at being able to 3x whatever someone's current comp is.

A good start, now just needs a tech stack, location, and remote columns.

This list in inaccurate. Renaissance Technologies isn't even listed, and they offer very high TC. TGS Management offers way more than $500k for SWEs, I know one SWE makes $700k there.

If the numbers are wildly inaccurate as everyone seems to be saying, what are the actual highest-paying tech companies? The usual FAANG and quant-type companies everyone knows?

Choosing companies by compensation is so 2019. In 2023, it's about your commitment to and track-record on remote employment.

Apparently at CZI, L4 engineers reported to make less than L3 engineers. Seems like some data quality issues here

Recent OpenAI datapoints on Levels.fyi show something like $300K salary and $600K "stock", for hires just in the last few months...

Is that RSUs at some current valuation? ISOs with strike price at current(!) but assuming stratospheric growth continues over vesting period? Something else?

Is the stock value what the landslide support for the CEO-in-exile was about?

Can't speak to the accuracy of the salaries, but it's a handy list of "higher paying" tech companies for those applying right now. Nice to have it all in one place.

Uh, Convoy is on the list.

Maybe filter out the bankrupt ones?

Hertz sure seems out of place in that list.

Number 8 on the list is "Radix". When you look into levels.fyi, it shows the salary as $25k.

There's definitely some publicly traded tech companies that are missing from the list.

is clubhouse still a company ?

On the topic of levels.fyi, the enshitification of the product has begun. It won't let you access things unless you provide your work email? Yeah right, like I am going to do that. A bunch of other mandatory questions in the sign up process also irk me a lot.

levels.fyi is the real source of truth
