IMHO the publicly listed salaries are usually BS. For one reason or another, they feel compelled to list something regarding salary, but they also don't want to "show their hand", so they list a humble level of comp. But in reality, when you're in a salary-negotiation with any of those companies, the comp-level listed in their hiring ad goes right out the window.
