it's an apples to oranges comparison. not many jobs that pay time and a half for overtime have mid-level ICs making $250k+ before overtime.

  The base salary is literally irrelevant to this discussion, which is about compensation for hours worked outside of normal business hours at whatever the rate is.

    I really don't see how it makes much difference from the employee's perspective. you get paid x to do y over the course of a year. as long as x is reasonable compensation for y, why would you care exactly how it's calculated? put a different way, no rational person would choose $100k + time and a half overtime over a flat $500k to do the same amount of work.

This seems extremely unlikely to ever be the actual two options someone might have. More likely is something like 100k + time and a half OT versus 120k flat rate. And rational people will take the flat rate, because the company will assure them "We don't ask for much Overtime" And by the end of the year you've given them 100k worth of free labour.
