Likely, but Amazon isn't known for its high salaries, is it? Also govt jobs typically have good benefits so a 1:1 salary comparison may not make sense.

What's high? They are competitive with other FAANG. Source: I worked at both Amazon and Facebook. Amazon also offers a bonus for having a clearance.
