I see this said sometimes, and frankly I doubt it. A mediocre performer at Google or Facebook with 3 years of experience is pulling in 250K+. At Amazon and Microsoft, that's a bit lower but still over 200K. And there's upside for a higher performer. The only places that match that kind of progression are bay area startups/public unicorns and quant finance and hedge funds. And for a competent person, that growth doesn't stop for another few years.
