I would like to see the data set where you pulled this anecdote from. This starting number for annual comp is not supported by any publicly available data for entry level in any meaningful quantity.
More like $200k in total comp (but I suppose if the stock rockets like 5x after you’re hired, it can end up being $400k). Senior positions can make > $400k/yr in total comp. Some companies have back-loaded vesting schedules so they can get rid of you before the majority of your options vest though.

Well link what you are talking about then, I don’t see 400k entry level jobs
I didn’t make that claim, Im just sharing a helpful resource.
Right I am aware of the dataset there and it doesn’t support entry level 400k jobs though
I didn’t say exactly 400k. I said “make around that amount of money”
My main point is that you shouldn’t kill yourself for only 400k per year. Ask for much, much more.
So looks like one guy with ML has a job like that rest of them are well into mid level, which does track.
You are cherry picking data
