Yup, and nope (I wasn't at the HQ office in SF but the Bellevue office, formerly Seattle). Look at https://www.levels.fyi/company/Salesforce/salaries/Software-... (I never added mine there; Glassdoor is also useful https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Salesforce-LMTS-Software-En...) and pay special attention to years-at-company. I'd get more if I returned, at least $300k, but... What was amusing is that the next tier, "Principal", has many employees at it where even if they're at HQ they were making less than me as a Lead (and some Seniors). (And it's still the case for levels data judging by the distribution if not the exact numbers.) The next level after that, "Architect", is where significant stock grants actually start happening at that company, but it's rather more work to get there and as far as my interests go not really desirable since almost always it meant you stopped coding in any meaningful way.

When people talk about salaries, I feel they always just talk about SF.

I was an SMTS at Salesforce (also not HQ) back in the day on $150k~ total comp, which people in this thread regard as junior pay; and that was on my initial stock grant, never got to find out what my refresher would have been.
