Speaking strictly in software, they're still competitive but you'll likely have to negotiate with competing offers to get top dollar.
Base salary caps around ~160k in non-Bay or NYC areas. You'll get a competitive sign-on bonus split between the first two years to compensate you for the fact that 80% of your stock options vest in year 3 and 4.
My understanding is that max salary is capped at ~$175K, bonuses/options take years to vest, and managers play games with these.
If you get hired and manage to stay for years, you'll do well in terms of total compensation, but the chances of that seem low.
