In many parts of the world that is a pretty good salary

  Mozilla isn't headquartered in those parts of the world but in Mountain View, CA. $200K is less than what a 22 year old software engineer right out of college makes over there.

    200k maybe with inflated RSU packages lol. 150k base is about the best you’re gonna get even with a masters.

    I am not trying to be quippy here, but why does Mozilla need a chief executive officer? as someone who's never been amongst the leadership roles of a company but witnessed the legal structure of plenty of such companies, I'm not sure I understand why it needs one, given what it is and what it does.

      because they're a company

        I wonder what would happen to a "normal" company that is losing marketshare for years.

    Let's ignore for the moment that their CEO is paid over $3 million/year [1], and focus on the $200K for the junior software engineer. If that's what it takes to hire a programmer in CA, then maybe Mozilla should headquarter somewhere else.

    So then the question becomes why is Mozilla or anyone really still located in CA Further based on performance the Current Mozilla CEO should be paid less than the Mozilla Janitor who could probably do a better job ;)
