Think my buddy was offered $65k in SF which I think was about $10-$15 higher than most others we’re getting offered in 2015.

I got 70 when I started but had friends making 75 (out of ad school)

As a jr I got 45 but with overtime, ended up with around 75

Not the highest but definitely a huge jump in salary; 42k straight out of college (never did ad school) and after getting laid off 10 months later, picked up a job a month after at 55k, still junior-level role

Depends on the industry - healthcare probably pays better.

I started out at 57k (pretty average. In LA after a summer internship/3 months post college graduation (no ad school). After a year and half got a pay raise to 77k with still a junior title

I made 71K in SF my first year out of ad school (60K + overtime). Got a raise to 72K after one year (no OT) but didn’t feel like much of one

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
