I do agree with OP that (some) game developers undervalue IT. Oculus had a similar and pay rate was equal to FAANG (because it is FAANG!), so it came from culture, not pay.
- vmception 5y agoI’ve never worked in a place that gave more than a few thousand dollars in bonuses :/ Yeah I know FAANGs and investment banks can be impressive on the bonus front too But the prevalence of this just seems disconnected from what is considered normal or bragworthy in the rest of the private sector and world
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoCan you elaborate more on the bonuses? Is bonus based income common for these sorts of companies?
