At any company worth working for, security engineers tend to be paid more than software engineering roles, because security engineers are in higher demand. If the company is paying less for a security engineer, they're going to get folks with little to no experience.

Not aligned with my personal experience as a security engineer. The most senior roles I see out there top out at 200k-250k in total comp with some exceptions.

In the bay area, or where? That's unusually low total comp for a senior security engineer (I wouldn't accept a role that offered less than $500k total comp in the bay area, for a staff level).
