It's not hard to get above 400k TC in big pharma

I think it is? I have an uncle who made his career in it, he only started hitting 400k+ when he hit the director and C suite level. Meanwhile I started making 400 when I was 28 and that’s considered late for SWEs - it’s less than what Jane Street pays out of college.

Well, for FAANG and the second tier.

Meanwhile, I don't know if you've looked around lately but I see security startups that are well funded offering <200K for Senior ICs.
