Principal Software Engineer TC~300K at Microsoft vs 600K at Meta. Is 300k pretty low for Principal scope?

L4 Google -> 45 interviews, 5 offers, AMA
Sr. SDE -> Staff -> Sr.Staff -> Principal I know someone did it in 6 yrs. How common is it? YoE: 3 TC: 180K
It’s uncommon to get promoted from senior to staff. It’s extremely uncommon for someone to continue to progress all the way to principal and do it in 6 years
If they never boomeranged, they may be one of the lowest paid principals!
Very likely stayed the whole time at Google. You need time to deliver. Also very likely they got a special award somewhere along the way to keep them in the company.
Stayed the whole time. That’s a continuous streak of time at Google; not boomeranged on higher level.
Saw an IC go L7 to L9 in a few years
I know of a L7 with ~10yoe all at Google. Is that common?
Very uncommon.
VERY... (One just wasn't enough)
