So not unfollow his posts? |
She wants to earn 6 figures at FB but can’t figure out how to unfollow and stop stalking her Ex AND his wife (I mean who friends their ex’s wife? Hmm maybe ‘Friends From College’)? |
| I’m a mid level lawyer in a big tech company. My base is 250k but most of my comp is in stock. |
Ah, I see the real story now. She is wistful for her beau from college, and settled for DH bc he was better financial prospects, and wonders if she had taken road not traveled with hunky college ex, she would still have a luxurious lifestyle as her 7-figure breadwinner. |
Cousin graduated from HBS in 2010. Works at FB as a product manager in SF and makes a base of around $250K + bonus which has varied from 100K-200K. |
I have a feeling your cousin is substantially downplaying how much they make. |
When have you known a HBS MBA to downplay what they make (other than to the IRS)? |
I doubt it. $500K ish sounds about right. |
It's possible the cousin stalled out in their career (or switched careers recently) and is an individual contributor with no team. I don't know anybody at M1 level at FB who is below $1m in comp. |
| I'm in my late 30s and just started making 70k. Is it possible to double or triple my income by getting a master's or second bachelor's degree that would help? Those high salaries are dreamy. |

It depends on your level. https://www.levels.fyi/
However, a lot of the info you will find is for software engineers. For example, at Google, the levels are different for engineers than for other roles. I believe they are a level ahead? Meaning a level 6 engineer will be paid more than a level 6 in sales or marketing. Base pay will be similar for most. In fact, I think Amazon's base pay basically caps out at around 150? I could be wrong. Maybe a little more? But it's stock where you can make a lot more, and the higher your level, the more stock--also depending on how you are ranked each year. I think some of the numbers I'm seeing here are on the high side, but I suppose it all depends when you joined the company. If you joined in your early twenties and have been accumulating stock for 10-15 years, it would be different than joining later in your career. There is a salary difference depending on location, but it's not as much as you'd think. |

Op here. Amazon is having a virtual career day on September 16 if anyone is interested. I believe the average pay at amazon is $150,000. Not sure if that includes stock options. Back in my finance days, salaries would usually be $100-200 for VP/MD levels and depending on your role, you would get bonuses. My bonus was 1-2x my base salary.
I am planning to check out the virtual career day. |
The minimum org size needed to be a VP at Amazon is now over 500. The role is equivalent to CEO at a medium sized company. |
