There aren't very many large tech companies that publish compensation information in job postings, so I used Uber's job posting. Equity requires belief in any company's valuation. I'm not here to argue about Uber's valuation, I'm just using them as an example. It's also not really fair to call Uber's equity "paper" -- there are liquidation vehicles for average employees. As far as the asshole tax, I don't think Uber's reputation is all that much worse than Facebook or Google, do you?

> As far as the asshole tax, I don't think Uber's reputation is all that much worse than Facebook or Google, do you? Absolutely yes. I wouldn't work for Uber for less than a million dollars. Google (and to a lesser extent, Facebook) is seen as a cool company that does (mostly) positive things. Uber are seen as a bunch of libertarian assholes who actively break the law, dodge liability, screw over their ~~employees~~ independent contractors and price-gouge their customers.
