DFW salary transparency thread: Drop your title, company, YOE, and TC

Let's normalize salary transparency in DFW. I'll start.

Me:

  • Title: Senior Software Engineer
  • Company: Fintech startup in Addison
  • YOE: 6
  • Total comp: $155K base + $20K equity = $175K TC
  • Remote: hybrid (2 days in office)

Format for replies:

  • Title:
  • Company (or industry if anonymous):
  • Years of experience:
  • Total compensation (base + bonus + equity):
  • Remote/hybrid/in-office:

No judgment. Entry-level to executive. Every data point helps someone negotiate better.

For context, DFW salary benchmarks:

  • Software Engineer (mid): $100-140K base (Levels.fyi)
  • Registered Nurse: $72-95K base (BLS)
  • Marketing Manager: $75-110K base (Glassdoor)
  • Financial Analyst: $65-90K base (Glassdoor)
  • Mechanical Engineer: $80-115K base (BLS)
