That was true 5+ years ago, but these days I can easily name 20+ companies that pay roughly the same or more at the senior level.

Half your compensation at FAANG is name recognition for your resume.

E5/L5 compensation is relatively similar across the board for normal performers ($350k-$450k). Once you get into the E7+ compensation levels, then you start to notice a real differences.
