SWE II [1], Google Cambridge, MA. I was hired in 2016 with a little under 2 years of professional experience, with total compensation of about $150k and a roughly 75/25 cash/equity split. The equity has risen in value significantly, the cash only slightly.
[1]: I believe this is a relatively normal entry point for people either just out of school or with 1-2 years experience.
Grew up interested in computers, learned a little BASIC.
Took two intro CS courses during undergrad at an Ivy League school, but majored in the humanities.
Years later, attended a bootcamp.
None of this took place in MA.
