90 or 100 seems small in comparison to the number of tech workers in SF making that kind of cash

- tempsy 7y agoMost of that is equity comp for engineers. For government you have to factor in job security, generous pension and benefits, and guaranteed annual pay raises. Engineers have none of those things.
- rjpn 7y agoNot small if you consider total govt. employees in SF.
- chipotle_coyote 7y agoThe link that showed the 90 employees making $300K or over is a link to a page about San Francisco city employees specifically, and says there's 40,951 total. (And it is 90 exactly according to that page.) So is 0.2% of workers earning that much a lot compared to tech companies, do you think? How about employees making $200K or over? That's 1790, or just about 4%. $100K or over? 15997 employees, or around 39%. So over 60% of SF city employees make under $100K. The median salary, in fact, is just under $86K. I could be wrong, but I suspect that's lower than Facebook's median salary.
