Ok, not all of Google's engineers are in the US, but most are, so that's still *a lot* from a single company and Amazon probably employs a comparable number of engineers (within a factor of 2) and they have a higher fraction in the U.S.
"OP", I've had multiple people tell me they took a job at one of these places after reading something I wrote. Probably < 1% of people who get a job tell me. Most people don't know what these companies pay (see other replies to me) and don't think they can get an interview.

I was referring to this specific screenshot since it's unlikely anyone at Amazon/Microsoft/ most places makes this much at year 2.

At least in my experience at university almost everyone knows they pay a lot yet only a small percentage (10%-15%) get high paying jobs in the US. At less well known schools I think it can be closer to 1%. The biggest hurdle is normally getting an interview.
