I looked at the Glassdoor data as well. Remember that they're looking narrowly at job titles. If you add "senior software engineers," their average is around $118k. If you add "software architects," their average is around $140k. And so forth. So if we're not talking about people with the job title "software engineer," but instead talking about people who are software engineers, including people who have a more advanced title, the average salary moves up.
