Maybe I'm in a bubble but everyone around me is making at least 400k total comp. Doesn't seem that uncommon in California.

But if you work at Uber/Airbnb/Whatever out of that 400k total comp 250k is just paper money.

Not really... If you have 250k / yr equity, your salary (plus bonus) is usually north of 200k at those companies.

From what I’ve heard, SpaceX pays pretty poorly. Extremely long hours for below-average aerospace salary. Surprised to see you mention them, but maybe they’ve improved lately.
