Much how working for woke companies usually leads to a 20% drop in salary because you're getting paid in good feelings.

Usually I see the label "woke companies" applied to places like Google and Stripe and Netflix which are also known for their particularly high salaries.
- konjin 6y agoHaving worked for Exxon and Raytheon the salary premium for the same position was substantial compared to Google and Facebook, to the point I was getting paid one level above what I would have otherwise. F&G make up a lot of the compensation in stocks so total comp looks great. The benefits in Exxon (and Raytheon) were insane, car, house and international schooling were paid and I ended up in hospital for unrelated reasons and paid $0 on a >$500k bill.

- est31 6y agoI think Facebook and Palantir have to increase compensation to get the same level of talent. The person you replied to formulated it in the inverse way. Also yes, in general if you work in a nonprofit for a charitable cause you'll likely make way less money. Google et al are certainly not nonprofits, but they aren't in the "evil" businesses of defense/mass population manipulation either, at least not to the degree that Facebook and Palantir are. They are somewhere in between.
