So how much do Facebook software engineers make? This is a question that has been asked quite a few times in the comments section so I figured it was time to give in and break down all of the Facebook software developer salary information that is out there. We will also talk about Facebook benefits, both core (health insurance, time off, etc) and the more exciting ones (free food, on-site spas, free laundry, etc). At the start of the video we also talk about how stock grants work at Facebook because they are a little different from other companies out there. Who knows, maybe after watching this video you'll become a techlead millionaire at Facebook 😉
As with every single video I do about software engineering, if you have any questions or comments please let me know below 😊

Hello Cody, Thank you for the videos and explanations. I really like the way you approach this subject. I was wondering if you can explain or reveal about how stuff works after the first contact is ended. What I mean is, the videos you made on salaries in some big companies are for new comers, people who did not work before for that particular company, for example Facebook. What I am interested to know, what happens after the 4 year plan? Let's say that I started working for one of these companies and my initial contract is for 4 years and the compensation in total is X, is there a raise in compensation or is there a new contract ? What happens on the 4th year and one day mark ? Any thing you can say may help me and others of course. Thanks ahead.

@CodyEngelCodes 2 жыл бұрын

Good question and it's something I should cover in future videos in this series. Every company that offers equity will have what are called refreshers. These will usually happen once a year. So let's say your initial Facebook grant was $100,000 a normal refresher might be something like $35,000 with the same vesting. While the grant itself is lower in the refresher, these will also stack on top of one another. So after your first year you'd only have equity from one grant vesting, but at the end of your second year you'd have equity from your first and second grant vesting and stacking on top of one another. So you don't have to worry about this, you'll never not have future equity that is vesting with a company, they will keep giving it to you. It's more likely that you will walk away from equity when another company offers you more money to go work for them.

@@puddleglum5610 That's true. FaceBook has affected a lot of lives negatively, to the point of death. I can't condone that. But evil is evil, you don't decide what's less than the other. The fashion industry is the second largest polluter after gas & oil. People will still buy LV bags & sneakers. Apple gets cheap labor in Asia at the expense of overworking asians. Everyone still gets the latest IPhone. The US still allows people to own guns, even if we are losing thousands of people a year to gun violence. You pick your poison, because you need to feed your family & everything else.

@@Jambajakumba I disagree. I think there are different degrees of evil, and Facebook is at a higher degree of evil than most (if not all) tech companies. It literally profits from encouraging and stirring up hatred. Yeah, they pay a lot, and feeding family comes first.
