8+ was about 0.5% of eng a few years ago



Yeah and 6+ was < 10%. This list definitely seems biased toward the higher levels. 41 Staff SWEs and only 60 Senior SWEs is a crazy ratio. Consistent with the rumor that they targeted high comp packages.


Where you do see those numbers? When I look at the chart I see 87 L6 (Staff) IC SWEs, and 211 L5 (Senior) IC SWEs.

Maybe I don’t know how to use airtable…


I think you were looking at the count of rows within a single category, rather than the column that sums up the values of the rows.


Thanks, that's exactly what it was. I thought each row corresponded to exactly one individual.
