Don’t forget that not everyone at these big companies are making these outsized compensations. If the data is self-reported then I’d bet dollars to donuts that this skews the averages super high. Few people feel the urge to log their below-average salary for the world to see. I’d take self reported salary data and anecdotes with a huge grain of salt.

I'd bet the inverse, folks pulling in the huge compensation packets have no reason to want to advertise this via a self reported site.
