- batshit_beaver 5mo agoGitHub doesn't pay top of market.
- giwook 5mo agoYou're right. That being said, 300k TC for E4 is still pretty good. Plus the RSUs have gone up like 60% in the last several years so that 300k package from a few years ago is maybe 350k or more by now. My point is that they are compensated well. They should be feeling pressure to get this stuff right when their product is core infrastructure for a majority of the digital products that exist today.
- jedberg 5mo agoI don't believe they pay top of market, but even if they did, it's possible to make a lot of money and still feel bad when you have a sense of ownership and responsibility to the users of your service.
- giwook 5mo agoYou missed my point.
- jedberg 5mo agoApparently so did everyone else. What was your point?
- giwook 5mo agoThe comment I responded to said they felt bad for GH employees. I was saying I don't feel all that bad given they are well-compensated white collar workers (like many of us here). Life is pretty good if one's biggest concern is work stuff and you're not personally in danger or actively being harmed. That's all I'm saying.
