Pay attention to the author of this tweet, and note that one of the jobs of an investor is to help with recruiting.

That report was flagged to death on HN because those numbers are not trustworthy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736425

I'm one of the makers. You can view the full set of data points at https://www.comp.fyi

There is a caveat that this is Bay Area comp for the most part but if you ask engineers that recently got offers at these companies, you'll find similar numbers. I personally have friends that have even gotten these types of offers.

I can only speak for the new grad list, but as someone who just finished recruiting for new grad at these companies with my peers, I can say that the numbers approximately match what we’ve been seeing

Because $200k in SF is $100k or so in Austin, $150k or so in Seattle or NYC.

I don't get why companies do SF. To me, it looks like hiring in Austin or Seattle, for entry level engineers, is a smarter financial move.
