I wouldn't presume to say whether you are underpaid or overpaid. But I will tell you this. I started at Google in the a little after the middle of the last decade, with no experience, just a bachelor's degree, not knowing my ass from my elbow. I started at $90k, not including $50-100k of stock and bonus, and was making nearly double that within a couple of years (certainly before five had passed). The fresh grad new hires today make a lot more than I did.
My understanding is that most of the big and medium names in the Bay are offering at least what I started out for people with no experience.
That said, my house cost almost $2M, and it is not a terribly nice house by the standards of anywhere but here. So . . . do with that what you will.
