We still get paid obscene salaries fucking around with the bonus of a shot to make even more obscene money.
For all the complaining about options there's little acknowledgement of how little startup work contributes to society relative to the money we rake in from people willing to fund it.
- bravesoul2 1y agoObscene salary is almost an oxymoron. Maybe CEOs get that. Most people who get obscene money get it from some kind of investment.
- ipaddr 1y agoStartup positions vs regular positions often pay much lower. Obscene salaries and startups (which are mostly bootstrapped) don't go hand in hand. Startup founder who raises gets to play with obscene money. If you come across obscene money startup jobs share them. Tons of unemployed developers lurking who would take % of obscene.
- duped 1y agoStartup positions pay significantly better than everything but FAANG and are easier to get than FAANG.
- ipaddr 1y agoWhere would be a good place to look for these type of startups?
- duped 1y ago"who's hiring" threads here, various discord servers/twitter/bluesky follows, people you know, etc. Same as any other job. The filter is for places that are doing real development work (not cashing in on trends) and have seed money/series A/B/C/etc.
