Really depends on what Org you're working for. I've had a lot of colleagues in support get pulled away to SaaS vendors to get paid more. I actually talked with a friend the other day who essentially offered me a job with 50% the workload and $30k+ more per year.
While SDE/SDMs/etc. probably get paid the top of the compensation when looking across companies, support isn't the same. Also, most of that is likely tied up in RSUs.
But I know for a fact L4 people in AWS's SOC get paid more than L5s in support. But AWS's SOC isn't a remote position, and I'm not in a position to move to where the SOC teams are located.
