Who Pays FAANG Salaries in SF?

Was surprised to see that several companies making the "top paying tech companies" lists that haven't IPO'd, like Lyft and airbnb. So who else pays those kind of salaries in SF? Also if they're pre IPO, how does stock comp work? I treat options I can't sell as basically worthless.

Facebook Amazon google have sf offices. Salesforce, linkedin, Twitter, Square also pretty good for post-ipo companies

How do you get a job in those offices? Recruiters always want to place me in the Peninsula

Just have to ask, but it may depend on your area and experience since the peninsula offices are bigger
