$200k is not very hard at the big tech companies, who employ a LOT of engineers in the bay area.

I'm less than 2 years out of college, and I'm set to make ~$210k at google in 2017. Up from ~$170 when I started. I know a few who are making a more than me because they negotiated their stock units well. To be fair, GOOG doing well the past two years has helped me a lot. It would be $186k at grant price.

I haven't even gotten promoted yet.

These figures are before taxes, of course.
