Average total comp for an FAANG engineer in the US is more like $450k, and last time I heard numbers, Chrome and adjacent teams were more like 4,000 people.

I guess Mozilla engineers are paid quite a bit less. They hire the people with a conscience, so don't need to pay the 'do evil' salary premium...

Which average is that? Don't think it's median W2 income.

Yeah it seems a touch low. I'm not at one of the big boys and $200k is more like base salary then total comp. RSUs show up on a W2.
