Our company is back in the 100B market cap club with the other seven sisters. Seems we have righted the course?

Could some people post examples of what they’re paid and their grade. I know there’s a big discrepancy and cross over for each grade but would be curious to know as I’ve joined the company recently and want to know if I got low balled.
