"Overall, top tech pay about the same."

No, they do not. Again, obviously you have never worked at a FANG company otherwise you would probably realize this. It's quite a well known fact in the Valley that FB/Google pay much better than MSFT/AMZN.

You seem bitter for some reason. I wish you well.

FYI, I got offers from FANG companies, specifically the ones you mentioned. There used to be a gap, but on the last round the AMZN numbers were effectively the same as Google's. My guess is that over the last few years they faced the necessity to pay equally.

I have friends working at MSFT in the Bay and their current pay also falls in line with the numbers mentioned in this thread. Of course, they're senior engineers.

Your sample size of 1 or a couple does not refute my statement about not all top tech pay the same.

I think you are quite the bitter one trying to refute every single one of my comments.
