Pretty normal in coastal areas. I recently interviewed at FAANG and these are the offers I received. I have 6 years of experience as a standard software engineer, I consider myself a solid contributor but nothing special:
- Facebook (SV): ~380k (60% salary, 40% stocks)
- Google (SV): ~310k (60% salary, 40% stocks)
- Netflix (SV): ~410k (100% salary)
- Hedge fund (NYC): ~450k (40% salary, 60% bonus)
Everything is per year, I divided the stock part by the grant period (4 years).
If you're wondering, I did not take any of these offers. My current compensation at a series C startup is ~280k (80% salary, 20% cash performance bonus) and I have ~3M worth of stock options (based on the last preferred valuation, though I am granted common so definitely more at risk to get screwed) of which I currently vested 50%. I hope will be able to get liquid in a couple years or so, though I'm not fully counting on it and I'm taking the risk.
