I wonder if this is sort of imposter syndrome, where an engineer thinks a year of my time is just not worth $380k to $495k. We all know plenty of examples where good employees are worth this and much more to growing or very profitable companies. Ask for what you can get and realize that you are worth more than you realize in the right situation. And never begrudge a peer who earns a lot.
