Maybe true for the bay area, in most of the world 3-5% annual raise and stock options are not bad though.

- ta1234567890 8y agoThis. It's pretty annoying that whenever there are posts about salary on HN, a lot of people from SF/BayArea start complaining about how their already super inflated salaries are not inflated enough and should be higher because the top 3 largest tech companies in the world pay higher salaries. If you are one of those people, then please stop complaining and just go get a job with the compensation you supposedly deserve at one of the companies that can afford it.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoWho are the top3?
- zootam 8y agoThese are the top companies that offer industry leading compensation: Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft
- akhilcacharya 8y agoThose are 5, I’m curious as to what OP thinks the top3 is.
- detaro 8y agoOn the other hand, plenty of startups and their investors insist on being in the Bay area, so I can't really fault employees there that they compare them to the local market. As someone with no desire (and no easy route) to live there, I find this centralization annoying, but startups fueling it IMHO aren't in much of a place to complain.
- draw_down 8y agoCome on. It’s silly to pretend SF/SV is just one place among many others with respect to our industry. It is the place.
