this is the only answer.

also, for some actual datapoints here: amzn, marketing, 220k (with the stock appreciation)

+1,000 look at levels.

Anyway my experience

$200K to start is normal
$500K as mid level manager normal
$700-$900K for a senior role normal

$200,000 to start - does it include the signing bonus? At FB, a $70,000 signing bonus might not be unusual. A $130,000 salary can mean possibly being homeless in pre-COVID Silicon Valley.

Friend works for Google. Makes about 400K. Does computer stuff for them.

Lives in NH and was 75% remote pre Covid and now totally remote with no plans to go back.

DH looked into a tech division for Amazon last year and would make about 250K. We also live in NH. He would have had to travel to Boston a couple of days a week. A couple of days remote.

How good is your friend to have gotten that role doing "computer stuff"?

We considered moving there on about $200K. It is doable but you live really really far out. Not much different from here.

In my experience no. It’s like $120-$130 Base and $70K stock. Relo and sign on separate.

Haha I don't really understand what he does. But anyways, he's very good. Mid 40s but has very strategically worked in the tech business since he was 18 (worked while in college). Was able to work his way into a good position at Google and since worked his way up.

No it’s very different from here. Way more expensive. I’ve lived in both.

Really? that seems low. Why not just do a fed job at that point?

Well, frankly, becoming a lawyer at these places is just like any other large company in-house exit job from biglaw for people who either want to leave biglaw or are forced out due to up-or-out (e.g., never going to make partner, so they hint you should probably start looking)--like other typical exit jobs, you are going to take a pay cut from what you made in Biglaw.

Should have mentioned - that stat is for Facebook. In the Bay or NY.

I think people enjoy all the fringe benefits (paid mat leave, meals, cache of workin the tech). Because with the high COL, you’re not ahead of the in house lawyer in Chicago making $200k too.

No but I think a lot of the people who take those in-house jobs that I know (I’m from SF) are people who were forced out of SF big law or burned out on SF biglaw but can’t leave the area for a variety of reasons (like they have a spouse with a job in SF and kids in school there).

That's interesting.. because google announced WFH until July 2021. After that, who knows. There have been no decisions made but they are not big on working remotely fulltime. They require in office for at least some portion of the month/week. Ask me how I know

Most feds top out at about $160k, except in a few regulatory agencies.

But non-litigating feds have awesome hours even compared up these jobs.

Agreed. I'd rather max as a 15 at the fed with a pension, and presumably maybe even at an agency that aligns with one's interests than work in Tech, not have job stability, no pension, just got 50k more? Am I missing something?

I interviewed at Amazon a few years ago for an in house legal job based in Va. My base would have been 280k. Add on stock and other fringe benefits and I would have been over 300k. I have friends in the DMV who have been there for years and make between 350k-500k. They work like dogs -- no different from big law.

Where I looked it was equal to here and we could get a not so nice shack to replace the one we have here for about the same price. We were probably not looking at the houses you would need to live in.

Some non-litigating in house jobs have awesome hours and get a real bonus, stock, 401k match, and don't top out at 160k. 160k is lower than the starting salary.
