According to levels.fyi, an "Amazon Distinguished Engineer" (L10) is making $960,000/year. The GDP per capita in Central African Republic is $681/year. Should someone that is basically a typist, earn 10,000 as much as another human being?
- scruple 6y agoI completely agree with the point you are making but calling an Amazon L10 "basically a typist" weakens your argument and is absurdly dismissive.
- pinkfoot 6y ago> The GDP per capita in Central African Republic is $681/year. No doubt you factored in that 40% of the CAR is under 14. (And fully 60% is under 25). The denominator also counts. And that's ENTIRELY controlled by the good folk of the CAR.
- donatj 6y agoYes, if that person's work is 10,000 times more influential? Which it probably is? Also “someone that is basically a typist“ is so... dismissive. If I were paid for my typing I’d be broke, my most productive days are often days I type the least. I am paid for my reasoning and deduction, not my ability to type. You’re confusing the work for the medium. Does Stephen King deserve more per word than a courtroom stenographer?
