Curious as to how much a software engineer makes at places, like Google, Apple, Meta, etc. I keep hearing that a college grad just graduated 3 - 5 years ago can make over half million in a year in total compensation working as a software engineer at Google/Apple?

If you reach L7 in 3-5 years at Amazon (or L6 at google) , then yes. Most don’t.

But they still make pretty good money. Most of it is in stocks. So that number last year was much lower due to drop

A college grad can also make over half a million in a year in total compensation working as an investment banker. Or at a hedge fund. Or at McK maybe (fast track BA -> EM). Doesn't mean it's common.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
