In SF, new grad SWE roles (non-FAANG) pay $130-140k base with TC reaching $200k with only 20-30 hours of work a week, which is massive compared to other white collar roles in SF (IB Analyst Base+TC comes to 150-160k w/ 90k base, starting level Biotech roles pay $80-90k, new grad accounting pays $90k, SF city employees earn $70-80k starting). Techies still trounce the rest of the city's earning power. I'm one of them.

Tech salaries trounced everyone else 20 years ago too. The $100k was not abnormal for grads in cities like Atlanta, Dallas, and Raleigh-Durham 20 years ago when houses could be had $150k. Things aren’t that great these days in comparison.
Interesting. I didn't realize new grad salaries in the dot com boom broke 6 figures. I would have assumed $70-90k base with maybe a 10% bonus plus equity. Or is that $100k total comp, not base salary?
