On the flipside, more talent would probably apply to AirBnB knowing that a guy like him can land 230k. Not to mention he's indirectly marketing for AirBnB by explaining why he was attracted to the company and chose them over Google (often seen as the holy grail of software engineering). I highly doubt that management is pissed.
More transparency is overall a positive thing. Underpaid people should know that they're being underpaid, and engineers notoriously suck at negotiation.
- temp20160423 11y agoIn the short-term, this is good for AirBnB now that it's clear that AirBnB pays extremely well. The floor is actually $250k--almost certainly everyone will look at their own resume and feel they have more experience than this new guy. I doubt the company can pay every SWE this rate as the minimum--otherwise, they would've publicly advertised this before. I just don't think AirBnB can pay higher than Google in the long-term--are they really making $1M in revenue and quarter million per employee?
