No amount of money would make the stress of 3 jobs worth it to me. To constantly be letting down people around me would be depressing, don't care if I'm making 500k/yr.
- thundergolfer 4y agoA single Stripe E3 role (senior eng) can pay over $500k/yr.
- trimbo 4y agoHow much of that $500K is liquid?
- wetpaws 4y agothis is a $500K question
- countvonbalzac 4y agoLooks like on average an L3 SWE at Stripe gets paid 215k stock, 218k stock, 34k bonus. So ~53% of pay is liquid (cash), the rest equity in a private company.

- thundergolfer 4y agoThe equity vesting is a $$ amount though, not a number of shares, so it's less volatile than typical RSUs.

- throwawaysleep 4y agoThey don't care about you. Don't make the error of caring about them.
- willio58 4y agoIt's not about caring about the employer, it's about living my own life. Your work life is most of what you do for several decades of life. I don't want to suffer, barely squeaking by, stressed and at the brink of being fired by multiple employers for decades. I make a fraction of what some people here make and I still make more than I need. Money beyond a certain amount doesn't make you happier, in fact I'm pretty convinced it makes it harder to be happy.
- jesuscript 4y agoYou may not believe it, but people are fickle. It’s that old Eddie Murphy bit about “What have you done for me lately”. Believe it or not, you have pleased and disappointed your company over and over, back and forth, based on things you did, and they only look at the last thing you did.
