But then you are talking about a small minority of even SV salaries, and a tiny minority overall.
The real issue as noted elsewhere is that the distribution is at least bimodal, and many conversations get derailed by confusion around this fact.
- ryandrake 6y agoYea, whenever you read these insane compensations, people forget to point out that we're talking about a small outlier of senior engineers at a small outlier of companies, in a handful of cities in the USA. This bimodal distribution of a (relatively) few insane comps bring the average way above the median.
