The top senior engineer at Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn is not making $200k.

More than 10 years ago, my in-the-door offer as one member of a team of 5-6 senior developers at an east coast tech firm was higher than $200k.

Fair point. The Top engineer at each of those companies is making more than $200k.

Edited for clarity.

What he meant is that they are making far more than $200k, which makes his next sentence illustrative as an example.

I understood what he was saying, and I concurred to his statement: that top engineers at Google et al, are making more than $200k

Not only are they making more than 200k, they are making WAY more than 200k.
