Just one particular thing, I'd honestly be shocked if any IT-focused employees at Discord who are based in SF are not making $150k. I started at a much smaller startup in SF back in 2017 making that, as a junior-level position. Every other company I'd interviewed with before being hired there was offering around that for my role as well. It's anecdotal for sure, but it doesn't strike me as an unreasonable salary to use as an average. Especially since the execs' pay would easily drag that up in reality.
