Consider also that most engineers are new grads. Glassdoor and friends should display an "average" that's very slightly higher than the new grad base salary, since most practitioners entered the field recently.

$200k base salary could well be totally normal for people with more than 10 years of experience, who are barely represented on Glassdoor.

Confirm. Glassdoor is seriously biased by not having older, more experienced worker report their salary.

It's biased tower the numerous, new joiners, and they probably won't upgrade the information when they get promoted.
