These numbers are insane to me. I'm 20 years into programming and a senior architect and lead on an enterprise project. I don't even make that first number.

These numbers are insane to me. I'm 20 years into programming and a senior architect and lead on an enterprise project. I don't even make that first number. But I value certain things way more than other things, and my current job provides it. Fully remote, leaves me completely alone to accomplish what they need done (and I get it done), unlimited vacation, great benefits, zero pointless meetings (almost an empty calendar). I'm sure these other companies offer some of that but 500k?! That is absurd.
