To make those figures doing "ad work" at FB or Google you probably have to come in as a VP or higher, which already comes towards the end of a very long career arc.

Not necessarily. Bear in mind Facebook's compensation is heavily performance orientated, the bonuses can rack up. You can easily clear $500k at Facebook as a senior engineer, especially if you're getting high evaluations.

Fair enough, I'm talking about the non software engineering side of ad tech.

This is untrue. A Level 6 Engineer or Manager and higher makes $500k+

VPs likely make millions.

Highly inaccurate. Even if you look at the data provided there, it’s 2 data points with an insane spread.

Check out levels.fyi for something more accurate. You’ll see L6 engineers make $500K+.

So even more pessimistic than my already prone-to-pessimism self thought!
