How Much FAANG Pays Software Engineers in 2022

Software engineering is one of the highest paid professions right now, and compensation continues to increase.
And at the very top of this pyramid we have what people call the “FAANG” companies, which stands for Facebook (now Meta), Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. These big tech firms are regarded as the most prestigious and highest paying companies on the planet.
But how much do they actually pay?

Good informative video - thanks for mining through the data online and putting it together in this video. I also have your interview process and SE vs Prod Mgt video lined up. Quick question - Are the salaries mentioned here specific to a region? It would be quite helpful to get some insight into how salaries at these companies vary depending on region (Bay Area/Silicon valley versus Austin, TX vs NYC etc. where they have offices especially as remote work gets more "normal")? Keep up the great work. 👍

[@Codebagel]

Thanks so much for the support! Great question, the data presented in this video is an average of all regions, but I could definitely make a future video that breaks down regions a bit better. In general, Bay Area is around 15-20% higher than these salaries, Canada is about 20-30% lower. The averages are close to accurate in the other places.

The new FAANG is MAMA - Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon. Netflix currently has a market cap below Zoom. So clearly not in this class. Also, the RSU vest over 4 years and unless you get more, that is that. The sign on bonus is for the first two years or so. So basically to make these salaries you have to keep job hopping between these companies. If not, your total comp could actually decline. Also, these are top of the market compensations and likely isn’t the case as of today since most have cut hiring.

[@prestonrasmussen1758]

Amazon redid their compensation bands so the levels.fyi data is a bit out of date. Example: new grad l4 is paying 200+ in premium markets like NY, Seattle, Bay Area.

[@Pscribbled]

For Amazon L6/SDE3 is actually ‘senior sde’. L7 is PE/Principal Engineer

[@Codebagel]

Yep, pinned a comment about this. Made a mistake in phrasing, my bad!

[@RagingMonkee]

Well for starters, Facebook/Meta was actually having a hard time picking up engineers because of all the bad press they've been getting the last few years. That's why they disrupted the market and increased salaries the back half of 2021. After that the pay difference was so high, SWEs were running to get in on the action. Then in December 2021, the other Big Tech companies started to raise their salaries as well. This sort of warfare has been going on for at least a year and it's causing major shifts in engineering talent.

[@lucascolepichette5970]

Another good note. Having worked at Amazon before, Stock/yr likely isn't accurate. I've received a figure close to the shown Stock /yr, but it was actually my flat stock (RSUs) distributed over varying terms (such as, after each year of employment, more RSU is "unlocked". These are partitions of the RSUs "granted" to you on-hire, just locked until you reach certain benchmarks). Likely, those who enter their figures for Stock report their stock gains on-hire, which they slowly gain access to, as opposed to gaining that same amount each year. Perhaps I just got thrown a really low amount of stock though.

[@Codebagel]

The website might not account for adding vesting complexities. A few friends in this space have said the website is relatively accurate, but everyone has a unique situation.

[@jonsturgill_]

Also add in the fact that as stocks vest over the 3yrs you’ll be taxed 40% of those. My rule is you’ll lose half the stocks unless you have a good cpa who can preserve them.

I like Netflix's model of just paying all of the salary in cash. I would prefer to be able to choose what I invest in. Not that I couldn't sell the stock and do that anyway but it's just easier to not have to go through all of that.

[@Codebagel]

It’s definitely a unique approach, and it’s a way they’ve been able to retain all of their talent. Plus, the way stock works at tech companies, you often can’t sell it until you’ve stayed with the company for a few years, so people who leave early don’t end up getting all of it.

[@michaelbenoit50]

@@Codebagel For most public companies you can sell the stock as soon as it vests. Sometimes you can even have the broker auto sell the stock so that you don't even need to worry about it. The stock usually vests once a quarter so as long as you stay for a quarter you'll get stock.

[@mr.mystiks9968]

@@bratwurst7774replying a year later since I watched the vid again. but taking everything in stock might not be the right move. you don’t get your stock every 2 weeks. it might be every 3 months. when you receive the stock grant, it gets taxed. at that point, you have to immediately sell a small portion to pay for living expenses. if the value goes down, 100% of your pay just went down. if it goes up, congrats 100% of your received stocks have gone up. it’s super risky. in the short term stocks don’t change drastically and constantly go up and down. over the long term it’s a gamble to assume Netflix will be dominant (remember Blockbuster’s fall).

In certain cities in Canada, such as Vancouver or Toronto, the cost of living is higher than in California, and they get paid almost half as much when you factor in lower salaries, higher taxes, and currency conversion. Same with many European countries. The Bay Area still seems to be the place to be, we’ll see how that changes over the coming years though!

I still see a lot of people calling it faang it’s just kind of weird at this point. Netflix probably won’t get back to its peaks.

Now every network has their own service so Netflix will never return to its glory days as king of streaming.

It's interesting to note insider (CEO and other big players) record sellouts. Whether this is due to loss in confidence of market, their companies, or the economy as a whole is something (or perhaps because of something else entirely, such as worries of tax hikes) I haven't the slightest idea of. Musk has sold billions in recent months in TSLA Bezos has sold about 10 billion in AMZN Zuckerberg has sold about 4.5 billion in META Two Google founders have collectively have sold about 3 billion Nadella has sold half of his MSFT shares, equating to about 300 million I wonder if this is correlation, or a general downward trend in the tech industry? I haven't looked into it, but I'd also be interested to see if this can be seen in other nations as well. How will these shifts reflect on wages? Are they temporary; will there be a bounce-back?

[@Codebagel]

It is an interesting trend to look into. Right now there’s definitely a tech bubble that’s bursting, alongside the global recession that seems to be just starting. With layoffs and hiring freezes in the tech space, only time will tell if this is temporary or if tech salaries and jobs will start to slow down. Personally, I believe it’s similar to the stock market. Through recessions things fall a bit, but eventually, they return to their place. These huge companies demand top talent and will continue to keep salaries at a competitive rate, so the only way I could see compensation falling in the long run is if every large tech firm decided to collude and drop salaries together. Thanks for the insightful comment! I really enjoy having these types of conversations!

[@MisFakapek]

there is going to be a large market correction so it's understandable that they want to sell now. I would do that even if I had extreme faith in the company, as if I would sell at high and buy at low I would be able to get a lot more stock effectively for free.

@@kaz2499 definitely. This is why I make this type of video, to inform you what the market rates are at these firms. If you know what other firms are charging, you can value yourself out at more.

[@sciencemanguy]

@@kaz2499 Ok, I just talked with a career advisor today and she thinks I was coerced into the position I am in because of some mental disabilities I have (namely a case of Aspergers), which hinders my communication skills. Apparently, my current employer has a track record of going to prestigious universities and tracking down mentally hindered people like me and get us. Thing is, I can't exactly quit because I'm living paycheck to paycheck. I also can't quit because I'm in the US on a visa so if I quit, I'm deported... So like genuine question, if I have a mental disability, does that mean that my market value is low? I'm still trying to wrap my whole head around this stuff. What exactly determines market value of an employee? Is it just whatever you get paid? Like, if you or someone else could help me on this that'd be great!

[@kaz2499]

@@sciencemanguy 1. Depends on the mental disability, but I don't think that is actually the reason for your pay. Unfortunately, people will take advantage of new immigrants, especially with your temporary immigration status being used against you. 2. Your market value isn't "lower", but rather unknown. Both the employer and employee come into the negotiation. Your employer, knowing your were vulnerable, took advantage of you and gained better terms. You had no choice. My dad experienced a similar environment, but he got married so he didn't have deportation hanging over his head. 3. First, I would advise doing a lot of research online as to what job titles are linked with your abilities. AI Specialist seems to be very niche, but can you handle the traditional software engineering role for a certain tech stack, for example? I would look up "technical resumes" on google to see if your resume is well made and presented. You basically need to do a lot of research regarding hiring practices, market value, what your job is, etc. Ascertain who you are and what your value is within the context of your field (comp sci). 4. I would start making an excel of job listings that are less than a month old, either manually or through scraping. Determine which companies would be willing to employ you. There is a huge shortage of talent, so now is a great time to find another job. 5. Start applying to 1/2/3/etc. jobs a day once you have your cover letter and resume perfect (have the career advisor review it). The key is massive quantity of application and attempting to get hits. 6. Review your employee contract with a lawyer specialized in employment law or at least familiar with it. Need to make sure there are no dangerous clauses like noncompetes or required employment periods. This is all I can think of off the top of my head. You recognized that you were being taken advantage of and that it the first step. Now, make sure to do your due diligence from now on. Best of luck.

@@KrupauxThe payment is good. if you have no moral compass, and if you are fine with the disgusting dirt what is happening under the hood at these companies, go for it. Personally I also turned down all of them (FB, MS, IBM, Bosch, Amazon, Morgan, etc) multiple times in the last ~20 years since I'm in the business. I'd rather starve.

Amazon comp changed a lot in 2022, basically you can make shift in your video total comp L5 is now for L4, total comp for L6 is now given to L5, I don't know how much recent L6 are making but that's a looot more than the recent hike. Seems like you base your number on levels fyi and you their average is about all their data including historical data.

In what world is Netflix there but not Microsoft? It should be FAAMG not FAANG, that makes no sense.

[@Codebagel]

When the FAANG terminology first came out, it was the 5 “new tech” companies that had hot and fast growing stocks. Microsoft wasn’t as new, and didn’t see its stock skyrocket during the same period as the rest. Like I mentioned in the video, there are so many other great companies to work at as well. I can always make videos on companies like Microsoft if my viewers want!

Are engineers paid a fixed salary or do they also get paid overtime? Of course, this is assuming they work overtime. I don't know how many hours an engineer works on average

[@darkwoodmovies]

Unfortunately, these salaries are the worst place to be on the tax board. At the higher levels, the government swoops in and takes about 50+% of your total income, since it's not a business and you can't write off anything.

[@dudexyt]

This is not true, and effective tax rate is much lower than marginal tax rate.

[@RevengEngine]

@@dudexyt yeah, exactly. Higher salaries means more take home cash, no matter the tax rate. So many people think certain salaries cross the line to where you actually would be better off with lower pay. That would be insane.

[@AmritenduRana31082000]

Just do write offs and invest and pay capital gains tax .You save a lot of those taxes.Not hard to write off just register a company or a business under your name and save money.

@@AmritenduRana31082000 I mean, if you don't want to be charged with tax fraud, the business actually probably has to be legitimate. It's not that easy to do it legally, otherwise everyone would do it.

I'm curious why Netflix is still included in the FAANG or MANGA acronyms, seems to me they shouldn't be included for much longer (too much competition in streaming for them to maintain dominance)

Because FAAG is too controversial of an acronym

[@wamblybubbles9086]

who's actually getting paid 300k+ in software engineer?? my guess is that they have to be like the top 0.001% of people out there and have years and years of experience, and their job has to be related to management, not just pure software engineering, right? everyone i know wants to be a software engineer for these numbers because its "easy money" but when you compare the work it takes to get to the very top it takes nearly as much effort to something like being a doctor...

[@Codebagel]

Most of these salaries are just software engineer roles. There are usually separate levels and career tracks for software engineer managers.

[@michaelbenoit50]

There are tons of people who are paid that much to be software engineers. It's not that rare in the bay area and in NYC.

[@untouchable360x]

@@michaelbenoit50 What are tons? A dozen? Hundreds? Thousands? Where are you getting your data?

[@conditionalbee9603]

I don’t think you can compare software engineering to being a doctor. You have to go through 7/8 years of studying in some countries just to get an MD. That’s not even accounting for the time being a resident. Sometimes, you have to work 24 hour shifts, no sleep for days while getting paid peanuts. All this while incurring close to a million in student debt. The money only comes very later down the road, when you are in your late 30s/40s and specialising. In contrast, it takes maybe 4/5/6 years to get a masters in CS. University tuition fees for CS are also much lower than medicine. You can probably get an internship during your studies too. Workload is probably easier than dealing with patients. You do still need to work very hard tho to get promoted but being a doctor is far tougher imo as you’re both mentally and physically engaged in your work.

[@untouchable360x]

@@crowhomestead7552 what specialization is that? If it takes only 2-3 years, it is not a specialization. Most world class people spend at least a decade on their craft. Tiger woods did not start playing golf as a teenager or adult.
