It's possible, but unusual, for base salaries for individual contributors to be over £100k, especially if you look at both FAANG/adjacent companies and financial firms (both investment banking and at hedge funds). If you include bonuses and stock compensation, those same groups can relatively easily hit £100k.
I'd personally never consider those in salary calculations - been burned too many times. But yeah, I guess if people are getting bonuses and other compensations, it could well boost them over £100k.
