Curious - what do the people making > 300k/year do? According to GlassDoor, even in San Francisco you have to be a director or VP to get that. Even Software Architects seem to be in the $150-$250k range, and that tends to be a high-paying post on the technical side.

Salaries of $300,000 are common among the top companies, at 1-2 promotions above entry level.

Glassdoor is not presenting correct data; AppAmaGooBookSoft pay $300k+ at the “career level” for software developers, counting base, bonus, and one year worth of their equity grants. Every engineer who is not fired will eventually reach career level.

Software engineers. But that’s $300k+ total comp, cash + bonus + stock, with a good chunk of that being stock not salary. Base salary of $300k or more is a different story.
