Salaries at $46bn fintech's new US office aren't eye-watering just yet

Pictures posted by various employees on social media highlight what appears to be an in-house barista, and various meeting areas with sofas. It appears to be just one monitor per desk as standard, however, which may peeve the Silicon Valley technologists the office is meant to attract.
Another thing that may dissuade talent from switching to Adyen are the salaries on offer. The average salary for Adyen's San Francisco employees on the H1B Visa salary database is $140k. This is marginally higher than its US average of $135k. Both figures are lower than the most recent estimates for the median household income in Silicon Valley, although Adyen is thought to include stock pay as part of total compensation too.
Salaries may be steadily creeping up, the average maximum salary of the 29 open San Francisco roles on Adyen's careers site is $164.5k. The highest paying jobs on offer right now are four enterprise account executives which can earn between $310k and $400k, but these roles can also be based out of the fintech's Chicago or New York offices.
Things may also be about to change with the arrival of Adyen's new CTO. Tom Adams, who spent the last seven years at Block and was most recently head of engineering for CashApp, announced he was joining Adyen as an executive in August. He was in attendance at the grand unveiling yesterday, calling the office "such a great space."
