There are developers that earn that much, and the probability goes up at MS, Mozilla, etc, but I think a lot of qualified experienced Compiler developers exist who are earning less than the 150k a year when you consider the global market and smaller compilers. But the over all cost of a developer is not just their salary.
Really though I've found jobs similar to compiler developer for an ANSI standard compiler at big tech to include a lot of hazard pay for how disagreeable the job actually is compared to one with more freedom.
