I always thought Microsoft paid more on base salary. Stock comp is kind of lower from what I’ve read online so interesting to see from a real experience. Thanks for sharing

No worries! My title is Software Engineer 2 and I'm based in Redmond, WA. Work life balance is honestly pretty good! There are of course the couple of times-of-year where there are tighter deadlines, but I'm usually very happy with work-life balance.

I watched this video at work, but decided to wait until I got home to leave a comment. More power to you for being able to make that kind of income and its good that you acknowledge that. But saying your rent is high, but you have 3 grand in disposable income is probably a little disingenuous though. What you pay in rent is just 0.8% of 283,000 per year. Your income bracket pretty much lets your money work for you. But what I was contemplating on my way home, was how corporate landlords see videos like this, look at the area and determine, providing more affordable housing is stupid, when you have Amazon and Microsoft workers who are more than willing to pay that kind of money every month for rent. Thats basically some individuals take home pay after taxes. And its an unfortunate reality, if there is no government intervention, persons in lower paying jobs are gonna be further priced out of the city because Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Tableu and every high paying tech worker can easily pay these high rents without blinking an eye. Its a big part of why Seattle feels like its lost its soul too.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Enronn! I very much agree with you. First about what "high" rent means (my thoughts are that it's highly biased by our social groups, and many of my friends are very conscious with their spending, so my rent feels a bit high on that particular scale) and second about big tech making it easy for landlords to price out people outside of tech from certain locations. For me as an immigrant living close to work simplified a lot of things early in career so I didn't hesitate to pay up the rents around the area, but I very easily notice how most of my neighbors are in tech too. It's unfortunate and I do agree it could benefit from some regulation. In any case, thanks again for watching and sharing your thoughts!

This is only big tech. Other companies generally are not paying as much money. Software Engineers in big tech have strong industry alignment. The work they do directly affects a company’s product (their money maker). It only would make sense to pay SWEs a ton of money in big tech. The goal is to find an industry that places a high value on your role. That’s how you unlock high salaries.
