I'd literally rather just get two jobs at mid series B startups or one Faang job. I completely don't understand why grinding out 5yrs for $18k a month is even close to worth it.
- pickleb 4y agoIn another 5 years it could be $180k per month
- gghffguhvc 4y agoThey live in India.
- Beaver117 4y agoSeriously? The jobs will make you work at least 8 hours a day on stuff you probably don't like, just to make the founders rich. At least he has control of his time.
- ryanwaggoner 4y agoFor one thing, you get to control your own time, but just as importantly, that $18k/month is an asset you can sell for ~$1mm.
- petodo 4y agothey are not making 18K per month, it's just revenue (MRR), so you are right as employee you will earn much more (at least at that stage in US)
- codegeek 4y ago2 reasons: 1. They want to do their own things, controlling their own time and not work for someone else 2. 18K/Mo in a developing country like India is huge. Assuming that's revenue and profits are say at least 50% (usually higher for SAAS but I am being conservative), that income puts you in top 10% at the minimum.
- corobo 4y agoAm I misreading or am I just learning the amount folks are earning on this site? In what country is 18k/mo not huge? That was my annual salary in my last job! I need to move to America lmao
