Guess my pay.

I have 15+ years of experience.
I am an individual contributor. I do not manage people.
I have never been a manager.
My job title is "software engineer".
I have worked at multiple FANG-level companies. Currently at a FANG.
I work between 30 and 35 hours a week.
I am remote and can work from anywhere in the US.

For precision I will use my 2021 W-2 gross and include my company's 401k match.

Comment with a number and I'll tell you if my pay was above or below the number.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
