- lowpro 11y agoThat's per month, which would be very roughly 290,000 per year I think, before taxes.
- eugenekolo2 11y agoMy bad, not sure how I got 222K. I don't get these numbers, if you assume it's for 9 employees, it's too high. If you assume it's for the 50 employees that they say they have, it's too low.
- morgante 11y agoIf we assume it's 50 people, that doesn't seem too crazy to me. That yields an average annual salary of $53k, which seems insane. Remember that Buffer underpays their engineers and also has a lot of non-engineering employees.
- poof131 11y agoI don't think so. 9 people was mentioned in 2013. Tallying up the costs seems more current and the picture of the team shows 50 people.

- eugenekolo2 11y agoWow that's a great link! Cleared things up :)
- moron4hire 11y agoDependents: For every person that depends on your income (kids, husbands, wives, significant others, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.) we add an extra $3,000 per year in salary. That's not kosher. You're not even technically supposed to ask if your employee has kids or is married.
- morgante 11y agoWhoa, I can't believe their lawyers approved that. Also a good reason I would never work at Buffer (beyond their generally low pay). My pay shouldn't depend on who I support.
- fweespeech 11y agoWow, yeah I never noticed that. I'm not sure that is legal either.
