I read from the archive version, and this sounded as nonsense as I expected. I do not know anyone who acts like any of the references people, a lot of them have behaviours that I would associated with people copying from stories about working in tech and startups rather than actual functional engineers. The quoted pay ranges also to me indicate that however they’re asking isn’t explicitly separating cash and non-cash comp, which means the quoted ranges may or may not be impressive - generally they just sound kind of average. A lot of the hype worrying about other people getting so smart or quants, etc does not jibe with my experience either - the combined behaviour seems like it could be implying employees that are say underperforming for their comp, or it could be employees who’s employer is itself on the ropes. The other 50/50 possibility I could read from this is that there are sufficient worriers on this particular site that you can find enough people to create this story.
