Those GlassDoor salaries are cash. Stock and bonus add another 50-100%. My anecdotal experience with Vancouver is that some employers will throw you 15%, on a good year.

Microsoft pays a bit less, but also employs ~30,000 people in the area.



50-100% sounds high for stock and bonus when you're on 200k+ but my main point was these companies are the exception, not the rule.


The stock and bonus are included in the 200-400k number.

Microsoft and Amazon are hardly an exception in Seattle - now that Boeing is leaving, they are by far the biggest employers in the region.
