The Taboo About Programmers' salary.

Salary is an interesting topic. Each person has their own idea of this topic. It is also at work among people with a unique taboo. Although the completion of university studies, into the working environment of the programmer is only a month or so, I could not help my classmates start asking about their access to first job in the starting salary is how much. I first discovered it is not natural for everyone to face this issue, many companies have evaded the issue. Such as Microsoft, very clear requirements recruits must maintain confidentiality of their salary jobs.

From a company like Microsoft to consider the position, they practice this kind of thing is entirely understandable. They want all the information confidential as possible. If they offer you the treatment you well, and you told your friend, your friend is likely to produce an unreasonable expectation. If they give you a bad treatment, and you told your friend, then you discover that the treatment is very low, you will therefore unhappy. So, to keep the staff it is clear that taboos related to each company's best interests. However, despite this, for you, does not mean you need to comply with this taboo.

From a personal point of view, open your salary information is a good idea. Sharing salary information with colleagues that you can know how the company is an excellent way to repay. And eventually it will become your future bargaining with the company in salary effective tool. Of course, the treatment is difficult to make accurate comparisons good or bad, because different regions have different standards, but the direction, after all, is a start!

To make my proposal more valuable these proposals, the following is my collected four technology companies in the unofficial starting salary for new employees situation. If I play the drums, while his public salary information is not shared by the available information would make it very hypocritical! In each of the following companies, I refer to at least three in the company of people working full-time information, so the data close to the actual situation (especially for those who have not graduated from college students.)

Google: The Mountain View office and other large-scale office in the United States, the annual salary is about thousands of dollars, but where they will live in accordance with a number of indicators of confidentiality increase or decrease this figure. They also provide the equivalent of 40,005 to 70,001 thousands of dollars thousands of dollars (more recent than the latter) the retention period of 4 years the stock value of Google's other benefits about 40,005 thousands of US dollars per year, or even more.
Amazon: about $80,007 annual salary of thousands of dollars, they will not be known in the bargain with you on a starting salary. They usually will provide a roughly from 40,000 to 50,000 U.S. dollars the value of the different 4-year retention period of the stock (you will be the longer in the company, get more.)
Microsoft: average about $90,000 per year, but I heard only 8 million. Usually add about 5 million worth of four-year stock.
Facebook: each year $80,005 to $90,000 U.S. dollars between. Their stock structure is complex, but I guess the value is usually $1000 to $10,000 U.S. dollars 8 four-year retention period for the stock, if you believe the secondary market prices, these stocks already more than 20 million U.S. dollars in value, equivalent to each Shares 28 dollars.
