So I am clear, you are saying that it's not uncommon for an engineer at GOOG to be given $150-200k in stock every year on top of their salary?



Correct, clearly not every engineer at GOOG is getting it but it's also not rare. And not particularly high-level engineers either - I'm talking almost exclusively about level 4/5 SWEs.

I also know some people at other BigCos getting similar levels (to be clear: $300-400k/yr total comp of cash + public stock) so it's not just a GOOG/FB thing.
