This doesn't add up: 1% of $100K = $1000. You would spend _several_ $1000 for every $1000 of produced value per year.
EDIT: Added "per year" at the end, thanks to Arcuru's question.
- Arcuru 5y agoHow often do you buy a new monitor?
- ranit 5y agoEvery 3-4 years.
- listenallyall 5y agoThank you for noticing this as well! Further, if a software developer produces $100k per year in value, the company is likely underwater. Very few developers cost less than $100,000, especially when taxes, benefits, tooling, etc are all factored in.
