Joined Blind over a month ago, and what an eye opener it has been. Tech salaries are insane. Even with the recent tech pull back and layoffs, some of the comps are on a whole another level. Friends in tech say, most layoffs have involved non-engineers (sales,HR, Ops,mrktng etc). Dudes in their late 20s pulling in 350k+. Unreal.

And then I look at my TC/bonus and a sense of disappointment washes over me. Short of becoming a partner, I don't think I can pull these numbers that tech bros post up.

Do you have the same feelings when you compare your salary to national averages for your peers or only when compared to a few people in a super hot market?

I had the same experience on blind. One key thing to note is that most of Blind seems to be engineers. So unless you're a SWE at PwC, you shouldn't directly compare the earnings from different jobs/skillsets.
