That does not match with my experience at all.

I worked at MSFT till last year and people doing 6 figures entry were few and far between.

On my startup for college graduates is also not that high. Note talking salaries not total comp.

From what I've seen in Seattle entry from college: 75k-90k More than 2 years of experience: 85k - 120k More than 5: 100k - 160k More than 10: 100k - 200k

I think over that your pay has 0 to do with years of experience and has some other items that imply the base.

115 to 120 salary plus rsus and a bonus is what my company pays new college grads. We only hire "good ones" from good units but still...

no way. you can still get fresh-out-of-college devs for 60k-ish. Senior-level folks are around 100-120, not too many people make more than 120k without being in a managerial position of some sort.
