I've about 15 yrs experience (not fully at yahoo) and currently make $214k with 25% bonus and 70k stocks/year) - total $336k/yr. I'm a generalist backend software engineer in the top 10% of my company in terms of performance. What can I realistically expect outside? Which companies will be able to match or exceed this kind of money? Thanks.

At level 6, which would be the target most likely given your background, Facebook could offer same base (you might have to negotiate up a tad, but with current base that should be very doable), 20% bonus, and 200k stock per year with a bit of upside possibility.
If you rock your interviews you might be able to get a level 7 offer (or if you're still in top 10% at FB you can get promoted there fairly quickly, in a year), and then you're going to be doing significantly better with a higher base, same bonus percentage, and even more stocks.
I'm not up to date on Google's current Comp packages but I know they are in the same ballpark.
