Leaked Google pay data reveals fat salaries for tech giant’s top engineersBy Shannon Thaler

An internal Google spreadsheet containing salary data for over 12,000 US-based employees in 2022 was leaked to Insider, and it shows that the tech giant’s highest earners are software engineers, raking in base salaries of $718,000.
Google determines its staffers’ base salaries using a tier-based system with levels two through 11.
The spreadsheet released to Insider — which only contained data up to a level seven employee — showed that level seven software engineers brought home an annual salary of $718,000, not including bonuses or stock that may have been offered to them as part of their compensation package.
The leaked document revealed that annual bonuses for software engineers also topped the charts at $605,000, meaning a staffer with the job title could bring home about $1.3 million per year.
The high-yielding paychecks puts Google’s level seven software engineers in the country’s top 1% of earners, according to figures published by SmartAsset last week.
