Glassdoor says that a letter carrier earns around $50K/year.
Interns still in college can earn that much in Silicon Valley startup, a decent (not stellar) engineer can easily be in the $120K-$180K range.
I don't see how I'm losing no matter what happens to my employer -- I'm getting paid a much higher salary than when I earned working for a more established, non-startup before I was laid off during a large reorganization and I'm doing much more interesting work than I was at the larger company.

- throwaway_45 10y agoIt seems like everyone forgot what happen after 2000. I hope you are saving your money.
- isaacremuant 10y agoImplying someone with skills and a proactive attitude woulnd't be able to get a job or freelance? The world is moving every day towards tech based solutions. If you can find a process to automate/improve and can sell yourself, you shouldn't have a problem.
- pjc50 10y agoThis doesn't work when 100k other people with the same attributes are laid off in your city.
- Johnny555 10y agoYeah, I remember that -- every industry had a downturn and there was no safe haven for employment, so I'd rather have a higher salary at a startup today with no guarantee of long term employment versus a lower paid job at an established company with no guarantee of long term employment. And I'm not going to work at the USPS and earn a fraction of my salary.
