JobHintz Released Salary Data for Zynga Jobs

Palo Alto, CA, July 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Today JobHintz, a job search site that also provides reviews and advice from people on the inside, released a list of new Zynga job openings and the corresponding salary data. To view the jobs and salary ranges, users need to visit JobHintz and search for Zynga. Recently, Zynga unveiled plans for initial public offering and is rapidly expanding its operations throughout the country. Asked about the areas where Zynga is hiring and the pay levels, Carla Olson, the general manager of JobHintz responds: “Most of Zynga’s new requisitions are in engineering, design and game production. A typical job, entry-level Software Engineer, pays between $80,000 and $100,000 per year. This may not be a great amount of money for experienced developers, but the reality is that Zynga is hiring quite a few new college grads for whom this may be a great starting package.” At Zynga, employees have generous benefits, which include free lunches and dinners for those working late and no formal vacation policy for exempt employees. As Zynga puts it, the company’s vacation policy is “please rest and take some days off.”

The other areas where Zynga is hiring extensively are design and game production. According to JobHintz, executive producers can expect to get paid up to $142,000 in base salary and $170,000 in total compensation, whereas associate producers can expect to make up to $115,000 in base and $126,000 in total compensation. Product managers at Zynga are also well compensated. Depending on the skills and qualifications, Zynga’s product managers make up to $130,000 in base and $170,000 in total compensation. “Those salary ranges are quite typical in the heated technology market in Silicon Valley,” says Carla Olson. “But candidates should be aware that the competition for Zynga jobs is quite steep, since they hire only the best and the brightest. Also, make sure you show your passion for Zynga and be familiar with the games—that’s just as important.”

To find out compensation data for Zynga positions, users should search for Zynga jobs on JobHintz, and salary ranges will be automatically displayed along with the search result. In addition to searching by keywords and location, JobHintz users can search by minimum salary requirement. The salary feature is enabled by Jobhintz’ proprietary database that contains compensation information for more than 100,000 jobs as well as additional user-submitted insights. JobHintz offers Base Salary Hintz™ and Total Pay Hintz™ for select jobs. Base Salary Hintz™ is an estimated base pay range, computed using the database or provided by insiders, whereas Total Pay Hintz™ is an indication of the total compensation. In contrast to Base Salary Hintz™, Total Pay Hintz™ typically includes signing and guaranteed discretionary bonuses, including stock options and grants. “Salary information is the most sought after information by job applicants,” says Carla Olson. “Base Salary and Total Pay Hintz™ are our best effort pay estimates, and candidates use them to gauge their interest in potential job opportunities.”
