I find it fascinating that anyone could talk about a $630k position like it is not one of the highest-paying jobs on earth.

- Cthulhu_ 6y agoSalary wise sure, but with salaries beyond, say, $200K / year, you quickly end up in a realm where the real money isn't in the salary anymore, but stocks / stock options. This is where the "Bezos earns $999999 a second" headlines come from - that's not his salary, that's some munging of figures from Amazon's revenue or market value. He benefits from that for holding a big stake in the company. Pretty sure he's tied to rules that mean he can't easily sell his stake in it either.

- paxys 6y ago$630k/yr is definitely not among the highest paying jobs in the world.
- sgt 6y agoWell you are certainly in some kind of <1% percentage globally. Wouldn't you agree?
- paxys 6y agoSure, but 1% globally is still like 80 million people. When you are managing a trillion+ dollar fund which controls a nation's economy, you likely want to stand out a bit more from a mid-career Google engineer or B-list celebrity.
- totalZero 6y ago$630k/yr would put you in the top 1% for income in the USA, one of the richest countries in the world.
