yo damn that out was so straight forward, anyways the content was dope

[@business_central]

Finally thanks !

[@CodyEngelCodes]

Yeah, you got it 👍

[@garburto]

Thanks for the research. I’ve always wondered how well AirBnb compensates their engineers.

[@CodyEngelCodes]

Happy to help!

[@sbkpilot1]

absolutely insane salaries... had no idea Airbnb pays that well!!

[@sajadkhames99.S]

You are wonderful 🥰

[@CodyEngelCodes]

😊 thank you

[@dalagamble3164]

Please do a one on cruise. No one really talks about that company which would make it a even more banger video 🔥

[@CodyEngelCodes]

They are on the list, hopefully I'll be able to make a video on them eventually.

[@dalagamble3164]

@@CodyEngelCodes yeah they just opened the company to the pubic. Now everyone in San Francisco can get a ride from a self drove vehicle😂

[@zan5479]

what companies do you think offer the most career growth?

[@CodyEngelCodes]

For career growth it's about the smaller companies. I'll add it to my list though because I could probably do an entire video on that topic.

[@zan5479]

Cody Engel what do you think ab meta in terms of career growth? i’ve been told it’s very fast paced and easier to get promotions compared to other faang (or maang. idk what we’re calling now) companies

[@geck1204]

It's also really tough to get into Airbnb

[@wangfengfight]

It’s a good thing if you consider the current situation in google…

[@geck1204]

@@wangfengfight Haha yea, too much fat

[@caixiaoshan]

With such a great gap between managers and engineers, you can tell where authority is.

[@SergPVS]

These salaries are based on total comp correct? Base, Expected bonus and RSU's granted within that year?

[@CodyEngelCodes]

Yup, based on total comp.

[@larissasantos8182]

Please talk about Two Sigma!!

[@CodyEngelCodes]

I talked about Two Sigma in my video about top paying companies for 2022: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGXYc6CQbJ5lrZo

[@atharvas1971]

Please make about Robinhood

[@CodyEngelCodes]

That one is coming soon-ish 😇

[@roberto011503]

I have no experience what can of job can one like me hope ?probably nothing right

[@CodyEngelCodes]

If you have no experience and have never written a line of code, then yeah, nothing. Self taught programmers have had luck with getting jobs in the industry but that's because they know how to code.

[@mocha97]

Your video is based on what's available on Airbnb proper for devs, but we're ignoring Customer Support. For curiosity's sake, I'm on the other extreme end, which is outsourced customer support - and frankly, I think by volume we're a hell of a lot more people than what Airbnb is ever open to disclose - on paper it's a decent source of cheap "unskilled" labour, in quotes because the level of diplomatic soft skills needed here is through the roof. On my end of things, we're making anywhere between 760€ and 1050€ a month after tax, with mandatory medical insurance (not that you really need it in practical terms in the EU), 6 free counseling sessions a year, and 22 vacation days. Relatively run-of-the-mill numbers for call centre jobs in Europe, but definitively below-average compensation, even for the higher earners. For context, I'm based in Portugal where the minimum wage is 760€ a month after tax. The workload is simply not worth this pay, which is why most of the time its Customer Support sucks and the turnover rate is high - there's no real incentive to perform other than the *chance* of a promotion for an extra 50€ a month and a 120-200€ monthly bonus for meeting target metrics based on your tenure length. Airbnb Customer Support from the inside is basically the Mcdonald's of CS jobs - you take it because you don't have another choice, you're overworked & under-compensated, and pray that another recruiter looks at your CV from all the daily applications you send out to other places. Needless to say, I've already put in my two weeks' notice. Sorry, I had to let it all out somewhere.

[@ikramhatime9263]

Agree with that

[@kappyh1]

Talk about Robinhood pls

[@CodyEngelCodes]

They are on the list 😇

[@natedavidoff668]

I have never heard of anyone’s salaries being that high. Maybe check glassdoor first.

[@CodyEngelCodes]

Glassdoor is fairly misleading, they give the base salary as the front and center number. Look at Glassdoor, a Senior Software Engineer has an average base of $225k along with a $45k bonus and $212k in stock (on average, highest reported goes up to $914k).

[@natedavidoff668]

@@CodyEngelCodes yeah I figured you were going to say stock. But I’ve only been offered stock once and it was at a large private company that had converted to an S corp. Maybe faang or silicon valley companies or ycombinator unicorns are the only ones that compensate that way. Amazon gives stock on a 4 yr vested schedule and they pip ppl out after 2 yrs. Netflix gives the highest cash salaries and the other faang give the restricted stock that you’ll never see a majority of.

[@natedavidoff668]

Unless you were a founding member or executive level roles. Software devs are like the blue collar workers of the tech industry and compensated at 80-100k at normal companies and 40-50k out of college or bootcamp. Giving people hope, Google hire .0001% of applicants. is fairly misleading in a video where thousands will watch and want this job for the money.

[@natedavidoff668]

Plus are they going to trust you who just did some research or me a software dev of 12 yrs in the industry?

[@natedavidoff668]

the salary caps out at 250k for architects or leads, unless you are some genius and facebook needs you and will pay the 500k not everyone or even close is getting that. If you are doing government contracting the hourly rate is like 70-80 an hour and even then they fire after the contract ends.

[@ginson1012]

Hey man "salaries at Airbnb" section are way way waaaay too high especially for the non engineer people.

[@CodyEngelCodes]

These are based on total compensation figures. Salaries have gotten a little nutty over the last year or two so if you feel like these salaries seem high it could be a good sign to shop around.

[@pikusarker1359]

Sir my elder brother is a computer science phd graduate. Can he earn 2 million dollars with 10 years of experience? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
