Project Zero Compensation

Anyone have any idea how much a top security engineer might make, the kind churning out zerodays in a program such as Google's Project Zero? It seems in general security folks in FAANG make less than SWE but I'm working off of very little data.

It depends on the company. I have been doing vulnerability research for years and my biggest pay has been from independently selling my research. I have buddies that work in FANG and do well on salary as well though
