E5 at Facebook all make north of 250 total comp... mány make far more than that due to discretionary equity. Even e4 total comp is at or just below 250.

I believe it, but this is more of an argument between the exceptional vs the broader industry. Me and the other person (I think) are looking at the industry in a much broader sense because there are various reasons someone would even make it into Facebook or Google in the first place which are not entirely dependent on ability. Even the majority of people at Google and Facebook are not at a senior level which is roughly what I think E5 is if I recall correctly.
