Mostly the last, as my second hand knowledge is dated or casual (e.g. from acquaintances at the local library, parents clubs and that kind of thing). I could be completely wrong!

Circumstances differ, but high performing senior developers at FAANG get vastly more than a 30% bump in total compensation over similar roles at most non-public companies and over public companies whose main area of expertise isn’t software.

It’s hard to say with any precision, but easily $300k total annual compensation for a high performer.
