- VerminOctopus1 1y agoNo, it’s not.
- trollbridge 1y agoWhere can I get a $512k a year salary job?
- epage 1y agoKeep in mind the rule of thumb that a employee costs twice their salary, so that would be a 206k/year salary. Generous for some, low for others. The salary spread in the US is crazy.
- sgt 1y agoWhere does it say that an employee costs twice their salary? My experience is more like 25-30% more.
- tredre3 1y agoAt these salary levels it might very well be closer to 25%, there's only so much fancy health insurance and 401k matching and other tax/fees you have to cover as an employer. At a more "normal" salary the 1.5-2x figure is pretty accurate in my experience.
- trollbridge 1y agoThere is no universe where overhead is $206k for a $206k employee. Taxes are about 13% employer paid in the worst case. Health insurance is $1500-$2000 a month worse case. The idea an employer has $17,000 in taxes they pay and overhead for an employer is absurd.
- renewiltord 1y agoMore like 1 month. I'd even say it's a week for a competent one, and maybe a day for a 10x developer. These days it'll pay for maybe one hour of a HRT or Jane Street intern and maybe a few seconds of someone at renowned AI lab Cluely.

- jmull 1y agoAccording to their financial statement, the Zig Foundation pays contributors $60/hr, and spent $154K on their single employee (Andrew Kelley) in 2024. So that's around 3-4+ years of development. (Also, that $154K might include significant employer expenses not typically included in salary, like, e.g. healthcare.) https://ziglang.org/news/2025-financials/ https://ziglang.org/news/2025-financials/
