At Microsoft, annual compensation for entry level hire is around 130k (W2 box #2) where as for the principal engineer that figure is atleast 350k

So less than 3x compared to entry level, probably less than 2x compared to someone with 5-7 years.

Principal isn't a level most people reach, and has better salary.

Jesus. When I started in '06, my total comp was 82k. My last year, 2010, my total comp was $115k. I managed to be both too late and too early to that party.
