Senior offers from Facebook in Seattle are nearing $500k/y total comp.

But that doesn't get you to millions (plural, post-tax) in 4 years...

Depending on your spending and your return on investments, it easily could have in the last 4 years...

House prices (on 5:1 leverage) are up >100% THIS YEAR.

The S&P is up ~30%.

You need a ~20% return saving ~$300k per year to get >$2M in 4 years. This wasn't terribly difficult to get in the last 4 years.

Who knows what the future will bring.

As an example, IC5 engineers (~5+ years of experience) can realistically earn $350-450k USD per year at Meta these days.

You could also do this at IC4 / L4 at Google - depending on how good your initial grant was. Appreciation has been high.

I'm an L6 at Amazon and I'm not sure if millions are possible in 4 years, but the replies are right in that you get close to a million. RSUs, investing back into the socket market etc etc gets you there.
