You can't just claim one absolute number as the comp for all "senior engineers".

There's a huge amount of variance, within FAANG and elsewhere.

As a simple example, SDE III at Amazon typically pays a bit more than $300k. Principal SDE, the next rank above that, will pay well over $400k.

And don't forget that during years of steep stock appreciation, like much of the past decade, actual compensation will often be higher than that.

I can pretty much guarantee you’ll only get that in the US.
