Are there any AWS architect level people here making $320k+ in "non-premium" markets? I've never seen a job posting for a Solutions Architect - Professional offering even north of $200k, much less $300k.

Typical seems to be between $130k-$170k. And nation-wide, the 90th percentile is $200k.

It seems like $160k cash plus stock options is a very good salary, even with some assumed growth factored in.
