    More like $200k in total comp (but I suppose if the stock rockets like 5x after you’re hired, it can end up being $400k). Senior positions can make > $400k/yr in total comp. Some companies have back-loaded vesting schedules so they can get rid of you before the majority of your options vest though.

    I would like to see the data set where you pulled this anecdote from. This starting number for annual comp is not supported by any publicly available for entry level in any meaningful quantity.

  For the absolute bottom rung, not exactly 400k, but around there. Also depends on the city and team.

  The main point is that if you’re gonna work a 996, you better be making at least $1M/year or more (honestly probably more, I tend to undershoot salaries) for it to be worth it. Otherwise, just get a normal FANG job if you only want to make $400k (lower end for FANG).
