You can use Facebook's annual report to find that the average annual stock based compensation at Facebook is around $188k. That's real, liquid stock that you can turn around and sell. It's not monopoly money. Add salary and bonus and you're well over $300k in total compensation.

Is it hard to believe that some are going to be hitting more than $200k above the 18F numbers?

Note that we're comparing the absolute max for GS employees to the average at Facebook.

"Some people at Facebook" is a much smaller set than "quite a few private sector jobs", which the statement GP was responding to.

Some people at Facebook can be extended to some people at other companies too. I specifically picked a large, visible example where the information is publicly available.

Perhaps GP misread "quite a few private sector jobs" as "most private sector jobs"?
