You don’t get the same salary and equity as a top performer. Very few companies give flat raises and bonuses without taking into account performance.
And if your manager cares about productivity, the 10x programmer is going to take the cake.
- rightbyte 2y agoThe correlation between performance and pay is really weak. In my experience, probably negative too, since most work seem to be done by junior employees while the most seniors coast around fixing some bug every now and then on something they wrote some time ago.
- kortilla 2y agoI’m telling you as a manager in a company that rewards productivity. We do refresher percentages and bonuses based on perf feedback from leads and peers. Coasting senior clock punchers get base salary and little more. It’s easy for high performing people with lower titles to pass seniors in TC over a couple of years due to stacking perf bonus stock grants.
- sambazi 2y agohow do you measure productivity?
- austin-cheney 2y agoAgreed. My primary motivation to be more productive is to free up work time for personal use. That's it. When I become a 10x developer and effectively work 1-2 hours a day I keep that to myself as a closely guarded secret. I know I will not receive 10x more pay for that increased productivity and I also know as I mention it the institution will find a way to take it from me for any number of unproductive reasons.
