the op made a claim so I am assuming the op knows how to answer this question. The claim is that many more engineers make 7 figures in tech than in finance. My question, specifically, is, what fraction of engineers in tech make 7 figures, let's say what fraction of engineers with 10 years experience and what are the types of positions at those google tier companies that pay this much. I think this is pretty specific

My comment was specifically about the "I mean what sort of position do you need to have to get there?" part of your question.

I doubt that OP meant that they literally have data showing that it's 1-5%. That's a wide enough range that it's meaningless. I suspect the meaning was more "way above average, but reasonably possible".

I appreciate the insights but you are not in any way answering my very specific question
