My L5 Googler friend makes between 350K-450K (Seattle area) depending on the stock price. Work on your negotiation skills!

Are you sure they aren’t pulling your leg? I’m an L5 in Seattle and I don’t see that much (still well paid, just not that well paid).

    I am 100% sure, I saw the paycheck.

      Ah, I really don't believe you now since much of that income is going to be from a once/year stock grant. There is no way you could tell how much they were making by looking at their paycheck (well, pay stub, who gets paychecks anymore?).

      If you saw their w2 or 1040, your claim would be more credible, since that's when most of us learn how much we actually made in the previous year.
