I understand I'm just another random data point on the Internet you might decide not to trust, but I've received offers that exactly fall in the compensation bands of the website, specifically: Google L4 (~280k total comp), FB E5 (~390k total comp) and Netflix (~400k total comp). The years of experience for those roles (between 6 and 8) match as well. And I'm no genius at all, quite the opposite.
It came down to choosing the best team for my skills, and since then I've received generous stock refreshers, a promotion to L5 and the stock also appreciated a lot, so compensation is not an issue.
