Who is making $3 million/yr at Google ? A Google L9/M3 makes $2 million/yr (per levels.fyi). I feel like a sucker, but I don't know a single person who's made L9/M3 at FANG before 30, and wasn't also the shining star of their Ivy-league CS class or the slimiest ladder climber I've set my eyes on. The exceptions are acqui-hire startup founders, but again, that's just amortized compensation as part of acquisition package. High risk - high reward. I have close friends at Deepmind/ FAIR and even they don't make more than a million. I'd say Nvidia and OpenAI folks are the only exception, and both were anomalous one-time spikes.
