In my opinion, Bay area works differently than rest of the world with respect to pay. usually the big companies pay in such a way, salary is never a criteria for the RIGHT candidate all rules will be broken assuming it's a big public company and likes of google/apple/facebook/linkedin etc, there are lots of them so you have choice However, in general to give you ball park number Sr SWE - $130k-145k with 10 to 15% bonus + 1200 to 2000 rsus at the time of joining with 4 year vesting period . If you negotiate sign on bonus (10-15k+) and relocation (have to stay 1-2 years otherwise give back prorated) Sr Mgr - $180k / 20% bonus / $2500+ rsus / sign on bonus + relo bear in mind negotiation is key - if you think they are zeroing on you, you have upper hand and push what you want bay area jobs are fast paced. If you enjoy learning and deliver as per goals then intermittent hikes, intermittent bonus, intermittent additional rsus are pretty common. if someone is laid back, going gets super tough }  If you are - DINK - double income no kids - luxurious - married with kids single income - super stretch - married with kids double income - best of both worlds BTW, some the finance companies are schwab, visa, wellsfargo, paypal, apple and google, Dodge & Cox, chase etc HTH |
