Level 6 is a senior engineer. Roughly 90th percentile of engineers. We have principal engineers, but not a lot of them.
I had 15+ years of experience before coming here.

Competitive pay offer: $180k /year $50k signing bonus 15% bonus per year 800 RSUs vested equally over 4 years (200/year) 600 RSUs vested in 100-chunks every quarter for the first 18 months.
Counting up, in the first 12 months, pay is about $670,000.
I gotta get seriously bumped at the end of 18 months to keep it up, otherwise my pay will slip to $350,000.
And that is what a competitive offer from a company that values their employees looks like.
I have friends who have totally gotten the $1m RSUs/year for 4 year offers from both Google, Facebook and others. These positions exist.
It helps to change jobs a bunch :-)
