This, and Google in Sydney vs London for the same role certainly does not pay 5-7x. Sydney L5 SWE is around 300-350K AUD total comp. If an L5 SWE in London gets 1.5M I'll eat my hat :)

Do you know how much of that comp is actual cash and super?

TC (total comp) does not include super - it's made up of base, stock and bonus. It allows you to somewhat compare against sites.
