We are talking about supposed "top" people who are critical hires here. Such offers go directly to Mark Zuckerberg and he has to approve them personally. And it was $3M in order to beat Google when someone I know got one of those offers but again I will eat all your delicious downvotes because that's not true, that's impossible (tm). You're right about fungibles at each level though. But this article is about top people right?

Do you have any proof for your claims?

  By all means demand proof that the meritocracy is really an arbitrary aristocracy and a party to which you are not invited. That'll go really well I'm sure...

> Such offers go directly to Mark Zuckerberg and he has to approve them personally This is absolutely incorrect. Offers above the band have to be approved by a comp committee/VP. It’s quite a common process especially since number have gone up.

  Was this the same kind of true in 2017? Because that's not how it was portrayed to the person getting the offer. Also going out of my way not to give away too much information unless you vindictive little s___s retaliate against the person in question. I also know that you didn't contradict my $3M figure. Hmmm...

Meta's entire philosophy is based around the fungibility of their workforce, including their top folks. An E6 is top ~7-10% of most companies, an E7 is top 3%-ish. Within those ranks they're all fungible. Now if you're talking E8 or E9 then maybe, but those folks are like, 10 out of 30,000. I strongly suspect Apple was giving the $180K/4y to the fungible E6/E7s not the non-fungible E8/E9s - those folks are already well compensated. I do agree with peer comment @wikibob. Those almost certainly went to comp committee. Zucc runs a trillion dollar company, he's got more important things to deal with than a $3M offer - 0.0003% of the company. VP approval is far more likely. Even in 2017.
