- huangc10 8y agoNot necessarily true. There are some series A/B startups that offer extremely competitive salaries and stock options for top talent. And also, I think he/she means if you can't get behind what Facebook is doing, maybe jump to Apple who "supposedly" have security and privacy as their top priorities and in the mean time receive a raise.

- sokoloff 8y agoAgreed, of course, but also don't think anyone suggested that there was anything wrong with it.
- gms 8y agoIndeed - you can jump to another big company.
- Roritharr 8y agoAnd for the good paying but "immoral" jobs there's a queue. The rest of the world is hungering for >200k$ IT Jobs, especially in Europe where the competence is also there.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoThis really needs to change. Do we all need to negotiate raises into our salary requirements? Tell them we expect no less than X% increase each year? Otherwise, what should have been my raise is going straight back to shareholders.
