I mean, according levels.fyi AMZ pays 400K+ total compensation. I don't think that would be too hard to fill up the office with the willing office.


But your cost of living goes up if you have to commute and/or live close enough to use public transportation to get to the offices.

The cities FAANG companies are located in don't seem to be exactly cheap.


I think median salary for full time employment in Seattle is surely below 100k and yet people live there somehow. 4x of median should be great, no?


A quick google search shows that median income seems well above 100k

Household slightly above, however levels.fyi is about individual compensation.


Not everyone is an individual. Does that take into account a family that they might be supporting?

I am not the only one that thinks Seattle is expensive - not sure why you are so adamant it is not.
