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

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

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.

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.

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