The California salaries are roughly in line with what I know. However, it seems that the numbers on the more experienced end may skew on the high. My guess is possible sampling bias, where experienced engineers that are paid more participated in your survey more often.
I manage engineers at a FANG company.
In the early years, every new grad gets paid about the same, so your numbers are accurate for newbie engineers.
