Don't get so hung up on that salary. Managing a 400 million + revenue company with 700+ employees is a big job with lots of responsibility and legal liability.

Don't get so hung up on that salary. Managing a 400 million + revenue company with 700+ employees is a big job with lots of responsibility and legal liability. Considering what US developers make, 2 million is not a lot of money for that job in SF and perfectly fine for a qualified CEO. Mozilla did not find a qualified candidate and had to make due with a weak one, probably in part due to the low compensation.
