I was under impression that only a few prop trading and HFT firms in London pay around the 300k mark, with FANG-type companies offering roughly half. Start-ups slightly below that but with generous stock options, if that’s your bag. Maybe I’m miscalibrated?

Yes, miscalibrated -- a TC of $150k would be low for a FAANG company, unless you're just talking about entry level pay. Once you're a year or two in, $200k+ is typical.
