Compensation thread! Share your salary, RSUs, bonuses, etc.
These threads have always been helpful for me. I'm looking to jump companies and I figured an up-to-date compensation thread could be helpful for myself and others. If you're up to it, please share your current or most recent compensation.
I'll start:
- Total compensation: $130,000
- Base salary: $113,000
- RSUs: $12,000
- Bonus: $5,000
- Years of experience: 4
- Location: SF Bay Area (Fully remote)
- Industry: Software
- Skills: Docs-as-code (GitHub, Git, Markdown, HTML, etc.)
- Background: Non-technical. English major. Don't know how to code.
I'm planning to start job hunting in a year. I'm hoping that the job market will be better then and that having 5 total years of experience will help my chances. For my next role, I'm targeting $140,000 base salary.
EDIT: Wow, thank you so much to everyone who commented! This is all super interesting and helpful information. If anyone's interested in my technical writing salary progression, I shared it in this comment.
