This list reflects salaries only, not total compensation. Many big companies offer equity, bonuses, or other benefits that can make up nearly half of your annual total compensation.
Also, compensation in the US is structured a little differently than in Australia. For example, there is no superannuation. Instead, there may be a 401k component (retirement fund) that is not mandatory.
