That's literally impossible. What level did you get hired at? I'm assuming at least 5 given your background/exp? That's more than 300k EZ unless you're talking about salary only.

Google lvl 5 total comp is ~$320K. So it is pretty close and still less than PHP consulting.

Aren't there ranges within the levels? I know of people receiving offers of more than $320k at T5 and equivalents beyond Google.
