I get $5m, is that common?

Salary or TC? How high up is he? But yes that seems on par overall tbh

Yes common including shares vesting

"common" as in top 10-15% of SWEs at top tier companies, but the median of SWEs at those companies is >200k TC.

So like, it's not unheard of (if they're a L6 this sounds right), but it's definitely far above "average" even at the best companies.

- An L6
