This is the article that the author of this piece found and wrote about.

It at least shows the tables of the data. Whoever wrote the linked article is obviously very biased and the actual article is less sensational and provides the data.

Self reported data could be really anything though. Middle Eastern and North African ‘googlers’ are doing pretty well though, so I don’t know if the racism angle is really an issue here.

Actually I can’t find anything of interest in the data except maybe curiosity in a voyeurish way ablut what other people are making.

it's paywalled-- do you have anything else?

"This spreadsheet has old, self-reported data that has not been verified and is not an accurate representation of compensation across our workforce.”
