Looking at just base salary is not useful at all for FAANG, since they all operate on total compensation. At Amazon for example, the salary is capped at $165k for all employees in Seattle (including SVP, VP, and director level).

And FAANG use case is not as useful for everyone else, because it's so specific. Base salary is a good metric in a general case.
