Don’t know about Denver but that would definitely be reasonable in NYC

Industry and size of company would be big factors.
With 5 YOE, I would expect you to come in at a junior/ early midlevel ish role. In a average COL location I think a reasonable range is 165k-190k for the base. In a HCOL location like NY, or industry like Big Tech (FAANG+), Big Energy, etc. I could see $200k being reasonable. Im not sure if Colorado demands HCOL rates or average. I assume HCOL rates would be applicable.
Bonus and Equity varies significantly by industry, company size and whether the company is public. I would expect a ceiling around 20 or 25% for bonus or equity (but could be as low as 0, honestly)
Consider looking at the salary surveys from various recruiting firms (RobertHalf, etc)

I agree
What industry?
That would be high in Denver, absent a remote role for a company based elsewhere. Denver is usually in Tier 2 for salary ranges (and they all have to be published, or should be to comply with state law). It's not considered with LA, SF, NY. Most local companies shoot for the middle of the range, not the top.
