  No, I'm saying 10ish years ago, my offer was about $85k/year + $50k of stock over 4 years - at around $90/share. Now at over $3400/share, that stock would be worth $1.75 million today. The point being that anyone who joined Amazon saw massive growth in income, which I think means they didn't have to figure out morale or career growth or even compensation strategies, since everyone (software engineers at least) was getting rich.

  No, he's not. He's saying the stock award, had he vested it all and not sold it, would have been worth 500k per year because of how much the stock has gone up. New grads at amazon make 100 - 120k + 30-60k of stock or bonuses per year.
