The poll had 3,701 responses, with 254 professionals commenting on their own opinions, here are some key learnings:
- Overall, 56% of professionals believe Snap replaced Facebook as the highest paying company now
- Only half (50%) of Facebook professionals believe Snap replaced Facebook as the highest paying company now
- Contrasted by 80% of Snap professionals who believe Snap replaced Facebook as the highest paying company now
Clarification To The Poll
A user at Snap added some clarification to the poll, sharing: “It depends a lot, the new refresh strategy will be very good if the stock steadily rises but worse if the stock goes down. It also really depends where you are in the scale, if you are at the minimum for your level then you probably make more than you would at FB but if you are at the maximum for your level then you could probably get one level up at FB and make a bit more there.”
On Blind, total compensation is always a trending topic. Tech professionals always have their "TC" at front of mind. Will snap need to be added into the FAANG acronym?
