for all of the private companies (lyft, dropbox, uber, airbnb) the amounts reported count illiquid equity as compensation when there's no clear path to its liquidity nor an accurate valuation. the cash compensation is about 50-60% of the amounts reported.
microsoft is the best option on the list by far as most positions are in washington (no state income tax) and the company is stable and diversified instead of running on ad loot.

tech industry is not just GOOGLE/FB
a very good software engineer at say nvidia or MS or ebay or INTC or Oracle with 5 years experience is probably looking at around 130~150K in base salary. cash bonus of around 20~30K
not to mention that 10000s of software engineers working for ford, GM, nationwide insurance, geico, target etc make even lower
saying software engineers make 250~300K after say 5 years would be like claiming that ALL lawyers make 400~500K and then point to Susman, WLRK as evidence
the number of software engineers who make 250~300K consistently within say 10 years of employment would be less than 5% of all software engineers. and that number is optimistic
Most of the people who really MAED it joined super hot growth companies at the right time - apple before 2010, google, FB and made most of their gains from stock grants

Total flame, unless they're talking about mid/senior developers at a handful of cash flush companies (Goog, FB). I had access to the entire payroll at a very successful unicorn (tons of revenue AND profitable) and out of 500+ employees only TWO had base salaries over $300k, and one of them got next to no equity so it was an obvious trade-off. Even taking bonuses into account, maybe 10-15 people were $300k+ and you're talking mostly the CEO and direct reports.
The $300k # is more believable if they're counting 401k match, ESPP, equity, etc. as part of the calculation. If they do that, then yes, $300k would be super common.
