Well, salaries are always relative to the local market so to attract the top 5% of talent they will need to offer maybe $180k/yr.

I would guess that the top 5% of talent in cloud architecture is in global demand. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, attract developers from all over the world, not just those local to Seattle or Silicon Valley.

Knowing you can triple your salary by moving is a pretty big incentive for a lot of people.

Even with the motivation of a big salary jump, not everyone is willing to relocate to the US though.
