I wonder how profitable these I make $X,XXX,XXX in revenue and here's how type posts are. I counted 17 people in one of their pictures and if you assume they cost $100,000 each, that's $1,700,000 in salary cost alone. Then there's 3 offices and all of the other overhead/costs they have to pay.
I've worked on some hobby SAAS stuff and every time I look at the numbers to see what it would take to equal my salary the numbers are staggering.
- telesilla 9y ago>$100,000 each I think that's the key point made here, that these high salaries are not demanded if you aren't hiring on the U.S. west coast.
- dboreham 9y agoParent may be saying that 100k is a reasonable per-clueful-person cost pretty much anywhere. I'm in the middle of the USA and I wouldn't expect to hire a competent engineer for less than $100k.
- beberlei 9y agoAnywhere in the us maybe, nowhere else in the world except maybe switzerland. The blog post specifically mentions being remote and not all in the US
- treis 9y agoYeah, I'm sure it's cheaper in other areas. It's mostly just an observation. I wonder what sort of profitability companies like this have and how it would compare to someone's salary that manages a department of ~20.
- Axsuul 9y agoYou're assuming that every person is an engineer that demands a high salary. I'm willing to put $100k on the fact that most likely only 1/3 are engineers and the rest are support and ancillary staff.
