I keep re-reading this section of their blog post trying to figure out what I'm missing here. $2.6 million full load per employee on avg? Is this heavily weighted to a few executives? Can somebody explain this to me?
Edit: I'm stupid and did the math backwards.
- candiddevmike 3y agoOnly thing I can think of is it incentives them not to put backdoors into Signal/get fired.
- jedberg 3y agoYou mathed backwards. It's $380K per person fully loaded. Which is pretty inline with decent tech salary these days.
- dangoor 3y agoI think your math is off? $19M/50 people = $380,000?
- dale_glass 3y agoYou're doing that division backwards.
- winterismute 3y agoIsn't it 380k per person in average? Seems like in-line with FAANG salaries in major US cities.

- hansSjoberg 3y agoA few employees and their compensation are listed on their Form 990, page 7. Sidenote: did "Moxie" legally change his name from Matthew Rosenfeld? https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824506840/202212729349301631/full https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824...
- rodlette 3y agoThey have devs and support engineers earning 700k, more than the CTO?
- hansSjoberg 3y ago700k to drag your feet on implementing usernames for a full decade, seems cushy.
- contact9879 3y agoIt's in testing now; you'll soon have to switch to complaining about some other thing. Anyway, considering usernames required an extensive redesign of how Signal works, it's not surprising it took 5 years (3 years of full time)
