Big Tech Jobs
Engineering, product, design, and business roles at Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, and the broader "big tech" tier. Most roles offer structured career growth, top-of-market base compensation, and large-scale impact — though "scale" cuts both ways: the work is high-leverage but the ladder steps slowly.
Big tech remains the gold standard for compensation predictability. Total comp at senior levels clusters tightly: senior SWE at FAANG runs $350K-$500K, staff $500K-$800K, principal $750K-$1.2M. The variance is mostly in equity refreshers and the company's specific stock performance over your tenure.
For new grad and entry-level candidates, big tech offers the strongest formal training programs in the industry. Structured rotations (Google's APM, Meta's RPM, Amazon's Pathways), explicit performance ladders, and mentorship infrastructure that smaller companies usually can't match. The trade-off: slower velocity, more process, and a layer of corporate politics that startup-only candidates often underestimate.
Pre-IPO and growth-stage equity at non-big-tech can compete on expected value, but the variance is higher. Big tech is where you go for predictable wealth-building over a 5-10 year horizon; high-growth startups are where you go for asymmetric upside if you pick well and the company hits.
