Median base salary at google is 149, and there are plenty of offers in the 200-400 range with outliers well above that. From personal experience 140 is on the low range for 3 years experience in the major US tech markets (Seattle, Bay, Austin)

I found this survey: https://www.builtinsf.com/salaries/dev-engineer/senior-softw...

Average for senior engineers is around $200K, upper limit towards $300K.

Why not just make it open to typing in the sum, at least optionally?

We'll think about it, many thanks!

Could also go up just a bit more, say 180k of a little more range and add a + to take care of anything over that. So the end of the range would be $180k+.

Take a look at https://www.levels.fyi/, which has pretty accurate salaries for Bay Area companies.
