      It looks like you'd need 4 years at a place like Cravath, Skadden, etc., to hit $300k/yr. It's hard to get precise numbers for tech, but...

      I believe people have much better odds of getting or landing a $300k job at Google/FB/Amazon than surviving 4 years at Cravath/Skadden/etc

      Yeah, MS pay is not competitive unless you get an offer match from a company that pays much better. But that still leaves G/FB/Amazon

          That ignores stock, the largest component of compensation. That's like removing salary for lawyers!

          But, G/FB/Amazon together must be something like 75k engineers. Not sure how competitive Apple is on avg, but they can also pay well.

          Don't forget Netflix - we pay top-of-market by default. Getting a job there doubled my (already significant) comp.

          Also I've found salary lists don't properly discount historical data. Second salary on the list is from 2010 - lot has changed in 7 yrs.
