Those are in the top subset I was referring to. Most engineers working for established companies are not working for that subset. I'm not aware of Oracle, Cisco, or similar-tier companies giving stock grants to engineers.

Cash bonuses are a different animal. I agree with your range (at least if you exclude defense contractors). Those alone are well short of doubling compensation, though.
