Let’s just say my above relative had trouble affording a house in Silicon Valley for most of his life even on an IT salary. Eventually he was able to buy a basic 3 bedroom house in San Bruno - but only because he happened to be working for a bank at one point. [/quote]

Op asked about FAANG. If you work in other companies in the valley they top out at $200k; and you will be laid off at some point. [/quote]

He started at Oracle almost right out of college.  He’s since moved around and now works for a company you’ve heard of and uses its product at home and at office. But I don’t discuss his income with him so can’t answer OP’s Q with specificity. [/quote]

Yeah, I know a bunch of people at Oracle, Cisco, Juniper, HP/EMC, Adobe, a bunch of old line tech companies.  And they make squat and can only live there because of family helping them by buying houses or living with them.  They get laid off every 5-7 years, and scramble around for some other gig.  They study leetcode constantly, reading books on the Google Interview, etc, desperate to leapfrog into the big 5 and actually have a decent income for living in the BA.

But OP asked about FB, Google, Amazon, and I know many people who work there, and yes, $200k starting for engineer/legal/mba is the norm, [b]and $500k by the time you are 45 is pretty standard[/b].

Amazon is different, they do have a salary cap, but their stock grants have made it very lucrative because of the appreciation in the stock. If that stops it gets to be a far worse deal.

Where do you want to be by mid-40s? Work for companies like Oracle, have enough FU-money, and be able to retire - or still working?  [/quote]
