I'd love to see stats on total comp for engineers at "normal" established companies. Sure, everyone knows that you can make a lot more at Google / Apple / Facebook, but it's also significantly harder to get those jobs and not everyone can.
If you're a SWE at Oracle, are you really going to make much more than you'd make at a 50 person startup? According to Glassdoor, not really.

Even including total comp, that's barely more than I made the the first <20 person startup I joined.
