Agreed. Also, I make a great salary (> $190k) and I work 4 days a week, 5-6 hours a day (or less) most of the time (my work is 100% task based and not hours based). Why would I slave over a company when I can get paid just as much, if not more doing what I love while having tons of free time doing other things I love?
- sshine 3y agoWell, you wouldn’t. I earn <$110k with relaxed and flexible working conditions (but still 37 hours a week). I worked for $170k, had to travel, worked 50+ hours, and “felt ownership” without having any. I understand if their comp range corresponds to an extra day’s worth of salary to some. I just couldn’t get $170k without either doing something smarter or harder. The extra money wasn’t worth never being home or present.
- flashgordon 3y agoBig disclaimer - this is a moot point outside bay area. If you are willing to do a startup for 170k because it is lot more than 110k, why wouldn't you leetcode your way into a fang say as an L5 (adjust level to YoE) making atleast 350-400k?
