Median total compensation at FB is $240K and at Google $197K as per SEC filings. Folks with $1M figures are probably in top 3-5% in these companies. I would also add that if you are in bay area with $240K total comp and have family, your standard of living is probably not all that enviable.

This is misleading because it's reporting median compensation of all employees in the company.

Median compensation for software engineers at the HQ is higher.

How can one see these compensation data's in the SEC filings themselves? Where do I look?

Are you saying some of the people here with 400-800k salaries are top 5% at a FAANG?

Managers will usually pull 400k+, I wouldn't say that's a top 5% salary. Above 300k isn't unusual at all. Check out levels.fyi for some examples of top-of-band salaries in each level.

Engineering managers?

Are there any non tech management level positions at FAANG that net these types of salaries as well?
