(the data in the actual link you're responding to, with actual level information)

$120k/year is what I'd expect someone with 2-3 years experience to be making at Google as a base, with anywhere from $35k-$80k additional in signing bonus and stock offerings. "Senior Software Engineer" means different things at different companies, but to me it indicates someone who is expected to lead IC for a team, who has at least 5-7 years of experience building software.

source: work at FANG company, have had exactly that offer with that experience level

Despite what everyone would like to believe, FANG isn't the industry.
I had to job-hop and watch my industry and my city inflate like crazy to see 120. Though...I did start some time ago.
Nor is San Francisco. Which probably explains the downvotes.
