Where are you working at where entry level junior Devs are being paid $180k TC? 1 YoE?? Because FAANG only pays their junior Dev (L2, range) $120-$150 with only about $100-$110 being base pay The only way I would even remotely entertain this comment is if you live in Sacramen

FAANG pays about 200K first year TC in SF/NYC
Typical Google offer: 135K base, 20K per year or stock, 10K signing bonus, 15% target bonus = 185K
Typical Amazon offer: 160K base, 40K bonus, 5K stock
Palantir is about 155K base, 45K stock
Microsoft is lower at like 120K base, 15K stock, 10K signing, performance stock and cash
These are recent common offers. Levels.fyi has more info. But people often don't include the proper things in their TC. Even the numbers above don't include benefits and these places offer some incredible health care that would cost like 2K a month for a normal person.
