She worked in recruiting which is a support role. I doubt her comp was even close to engineering scale. I’m sure Google was an amazing place to do recruiting but the amenities you mentioned are more about attracting and retaining engineering talent and pretty typical among FAANG. 

Tech HR and recruiting have been hit pretty hard in these layoffs. I suspect she’s going to be looking at grad programs next.

I work at a FAANG company and have first-hand knowledge of recruiter compensation here.  Our recruiters can make between $120k - $300k depending on job level and stock performance.  Don't get me wrong, a good recruiter can make a hiring managers job much easier, but no way do you need to pay $300k to attract/retain that skillset.
