I think that a quarterly "Ask HN: How much do you make?" Would be a great addition to the "Who's Hiring?" threads.

I posted one for Google here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11314449

This Amazon thread has been very enlightening.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Sir/Madam! I think it's interesting that you went the tax return route.

To save people one click:

I spent 5 years at Google. My AGI (as measured by the IRS) during my time there went $130K, $200K, $280K, $280K, $300K, $356K (for my last 5 months there...it also includes unexercised stock options for the last 5 years, though). The bump to $280K was upon promotion to senior SWE; the one to $200K was largely because of a generous stock refresh grant.
