As a regular engineer? Or is there a math heavy component?

My understanding is that I could get about 200k base at goldman and maybe a 20% bonus, this is for working in a high in demand field. Google/FB/Other job I can get 300k+ while working less hours, paid for lunch, better treatment, more respect.

Google / Facebook / Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have equivalent grades and conditions. Employees regularly goes back and forth between them.

More important than the company name, you should make sure to join the right role for you in the right group.

That's a realistic compensation package for a normal Sr engineer role at a big bank ime. No, it's not Goog/FB pay but a lot of the jobs are available in LCOL areas like Delaware and the Triangle fwiw.

That's the biggest thing some people don't take into account when it comes to salaries: cost of living. $300k is not always more money than $200k.
