They mean:

* PhD in deep learning / ML with papers at NIPS/ICML

* Working for BigCo (FAANG)

* Half of that is stock, annually.

* In the bay area or a big city

If you don't hit all those items then you pay is likely more modest. If you are academic, it is still likely laughable.

Ah ha. I read it as saying people getting 300k in cash. It makes more sense now. For me, I'll have to wait out several years until my RSU gets fully vested. Let's hope I don't get fired in the meantime :)
