    Software engineers at Google can make a base salary of up to $718,000 a year — and one says he is earning six figures working approximately five hours a week.

    Devon, a Google software engineer in his 20s, told Fortune that he works for the tech giant for approximately one hour daily while earning a $150,000 salary.
