I'm a Google Software Engineer III (one level below lefthander and presumably two or three levels below lefthander2) and I haven't been at the company a long time (no stock refreshes or pay rises since joining).
My base salary is ~$130k but I conservatively expect that my salary+stock+bonuses for this year will total to be above $190k.
This makes me believe lefthander and lefthander2's numbers, taking into account their seniority.
