It does depend on where in the US you are or how your company handles remote compensation. Bay area, techtropolii, and other high tech areas might pay that but there are large parts of the US where a majority of SWEs make less than $100k. FAANG is a small part of the SWE jobs available in the US.

Yes, if you go to work for Albertson’s instead of Google prepare to be surprised

But honestly that’s the point of the post. If you are a SWE in a low pay company realize that you can make $300k+ by switching companies

Can everyone earn that ? No Can you? Maybe

Sometimes that is enough - motivated individuals will use the information
