It's very uncommon. Less than 1%, for sure. The other 99% don't make headlines on HN.
- socratic 15y agoI may have a biased sample, but six out of my seven engineer friends 25--35 have salary + bonus + equity in that range or higher. The only one not making that is at a very early stage startup. Even my friends making iPhone apps independently are in that range.
