FAANG level pay is well over $200 for a senior, easy. There's plenty of companies offering senior comp in the 150-200 range that aren't faang.

Total comp yes, not salary like OP is talking about. Only a handful of companies have total comp that doubles base thanks to RSU and stock, which a vast majority of the worlds ~25MM programmers do not participate in.

Nope, I mean base salary not total comp.

It's amazing how skewed the HN crowd is on developer comp. You'll find that $140-150k is senior range for a vast majority of the U.S. software engineering market.

Now you're just moving goalposts. 140k is not "very high" pay for a senior software engineer anywhere in the US.
