I have heard that Google will pay $1m+ per engineer if they like the team and what they've pulled off, even if they are going to dump the technology (or want it rebuilt from the ground up).
I think once you get into eight figures, though-- you're probably right.
- netcan 18y agoIt's interesting to consider employee acquisition as a motivator. As far as I could guess there are a few motivations: 1 the technology 2 the product/userbase 3 the employees 4 kill competition 1 & 2 could be 'masterplan' motivations. 3 has a maximum dollar value. 4 is rarely admitted. It's hard to judge if they messed up without knowing which one it is.
