They must pay well from all the money companies are throwing at them.

Eh, I think it varies. All of the FAANG are such a huge gap of eachother.

About 6 years ago, Netflix and Google offered me far and away the most. Facebook Was Closer to them but still lower. Apple and Amazon were on par with the lower end of the spectrum.

I recently moved to Austin and started interviewing again, so far, AWS offered better wages than Apple and Oracle, especially for the area (was comparable to Seattle wage even), and Netflix and Google basically demanded I move (Netflix to Cali, Google to NYC). And Facebook I don't know because I refuse to work there.

So I think mileage may vary. AWS seems to pay a "Flat Rate" across the board, so if you live somewhere other than NYC, Seattle, or SF, your pay will likely be better than the adjusted wages other companies factor in for smaller cities.

Although I ended up taking an offer for Salesforce because they blew everyone else away pay wise.

They were 15% lower than my other job offers in August timeframe. Given the rep for requiring crazy hours and the middling pay, I wasn't interested.
