I'm just saying, the claim is that no "junior engineer" can make 300k. That's pretty false. You can also look into HFT "junior engineers" like at Citadel which will clear 300k easily. Facebook return offers for new grad can hit very close to 300k, and there are definitely other companies that pay just as much, if not more. Of course, it's rare, and these people are in elite air.

I would categorized HFT eng on a different category (they, historically, always are outside of the typical SWE)
They make 200k base but have 0.5M bonuses (or more depending on the HF perf).
That FB eng that got return offer for 300k? Most likely just the only one. Probably not because of elite but because of niche skill (SME/PhD in a specific field that happened to be relevant). Probably skipped I3 to I4. Majority (95%) of FB I3 won't get close to 300k.
