That's about what senior government jobs pay.

That’s less than FAANG entry level salary for Silicon Valley. L3 at Google. L6 make almost half a million a year in total compensation.
> Google L3 TOTAL ESTIMATE $187,769
> L3 / T3 is the new grad software engineering role at Google

And at higher levels equity becomes a bigger portion of comp. So you can get 100k+ in equity a year as a senior IC.

Yes I agreed that for my experience and ability I get paid badly. It is one of the reasons I am a rather bitter and angry person.
On the other hand, I still make a lot of money compared to the majority of people. This is little consolation though after devoting so much time and effort in my life to what I do.
Hence I hate pretty much every engineer I come into contact with these days. A huge number of them make as much or more than I do, and have 1/3 the experience and knowledge.
I consider anything less than $170k/yr these days to be insulting, regardless of whether they are FAANG or not. My last 3 non-FAANG position have paid that much / more.
