In all honesty, I’d rather get paid the $500k/yr people make here than have a union negotiate a $350k one time bonus in a time of unprecedented success. Given these two options, I’m not that eager to have their system.

- dolebirchwood 5mo agoHe clearly has a very narrow definition of "here" in mind.
- virgildotcodes 5mo agoWhile we’re at it I, too, would rather be given $xx billion a month and a pony than be in a union and only get a $350k bonus. I think I am making a shrewd decision here if my math and equine knowledge holds.

The average person on hacker news is easily in the 90th percentile of software engineers, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the most people here make somewhere around there. The biggest confounding factor is the other fact that most HN users are startup founders living off ramen in Peter Thiel's garage, so that probably brings down the average some.
