Meh - I see one of the benefits of working outside of FAANG and other enterprises to work on something you trule believe in. Who truly loves working on improving the returns on online advertising to extract more money out of people's pockets?
- judge2020 5y agoSome people truly love problem solving and don't have to believe in the product to feel fulfilled. The 2 million dollar house with a Model S in the garage and the money to start any hobby at any time doesn't hurt either.
- bradlys 5y agoI mean, that’s nice but it doesn’t really afford a typical professional middle class lifestyle that you would see outside the SF bay area. (Unless partner is at FAANG or surgeon) You’re mostly stuck at liquid comp of $180-220k tops. Obviously if the startup works out, hallelujah. But if it doesn’t - that salary sucks for trying to have a home in a nice school district along with some normal vacations and what not.
- luckylion 5y ago> You’re mostly stuck at liquid comp of $180-220k tops [...] that salary sucks for trying to have a home in a nice school district along with some normal vacations and what not. Do you mean "in SF, where the cost of living is extremely high", or are you suggesting that you can't have a comfortable life on $180k/year?
- bradlys 5y agoYes - SF Bay Area. Obviously you could live like a king in some other regions but they wouldn’t pay $180k most likely for random startup senior software engineer.
