In what world is the average pay of a developer 200k/year? I'm pretty sure you could quarter that, which would make the project much more viable

- olejorgenb 6y agoThe total cost of an employee is quite a bit more than the pay, but yeah seems high?
- DominikD 6y agoDepends on the country and depends on the state. E.g. in California the basic overhead in terms of taxes payed by the employer is slightly below 10%. Then the personal income tax is 13%. You have to include other costs like matching 401k, medical premiums, other operational costs associated with each employee. $200k doesn't seem that outrageous from the employer POV since the employee is left with around $120k at the end of the day.
- roca 6y agoThe average Mozilla Gecko engine developer can quit and get a job at a big tech company making a lot more than $200K a year, definitely if they live in the Bay Area, and probably even if they don't.
- DominikD 6y agoWe're talking costs, not pay. You have to pay taxes and provide various benefits to meet the legal requirements of employing someone.
