Maybe Glassdoor and Angellist are not good sources but nowhere have I found any kind of jobs with that level of compensation. Then again, 100k-250k is a HUGE range and I imagine the distribution is heavily skewed towards the lower end.

200k is not hard to get in the bay if you have more than 4/5 years experience in a similar position or more than 8/9 years experience in the industry. For most unicorns that's the 75% percentile for base compensation in Sr. Software Engineer roles.

Edit for data: base at Google is 191k so I'm not that off with my estimation https://www.paysa.com/salaries/google--senior-software-engin...

There's several good data-points on compensation here: https://goo.gl/iHw7cj

It's also broken down by area of focus (ex. ML / AI pays exorbitantly well right now).
