Not when it’s a major hub-sub for a topic. A rogue moderator can take something like /r/spacex and completely ruin it then ban anyone who disagrees, to the point that people have to make stuff like /r/spacexlounge to hav

Really sad that 30 years later we're only slightly larger. This is a major problem for telescopes since there are hard physical limits on resolution vs size.

1x would be 1x market rate IMO. Let’s say your skill is worth $125k avg. I’m not exactly interested in the people who can be that, and there’s a lot of them. I want the people who can make me feel like $250k is a steal etc.

If true, that just makes it worse in my opinion. Although maybe it’s evidence in my favor? They have to pay people that much to keep doing what they know is wrong…

Netflix was pretty neutral until about 4 years ago. Their leadership jumped the shark and the entire platform has been trash since. Side personal note: Fuck you guys for getting rid of stargate.

Sounds like you’re making bank now. The problem is that, you sound like are expecting me to respect you. You sold out, sure you got some more cash for your trouble so congrats I guess. I just want you to be honest about what you did.

Sure. I admit I’m not artful on this subject. But I am honest.

It entirely depends on the role. My point is I make sure my companies pay well. I want every employee to feel like they’re robbing me. But I also want to make sure that I have as few employees as possible.

You do you, and I wish you all the best. Doesn’t change what I do however. You can also just remove FAANG from your CV.

Sure. It was very low cost. Much in the same way discriminating against FAANG employees is a low cost high efficiency strategy.

Sure. What I mean by top-tier pay is essentially paying well above average to fewer, higher quality people. I’d rather have 2-3 expert engineers making 2x pay than 10 mediocre engineers making 1x pay. There is a sweet spot where you can sca

Sure, and the overwhelming majority of companies don’t grow like mine do. Or sell for what I’ve exited for. Being mediocre is easy.

I’m not perfect. I like to hire people slowly, and meet them in person where I can. But I’ve definitely made mistakes, and so far every hire I’ve honestly regretted worked for a megacorp prior to me hiring them.

Lots of places. See, the best people have a lot of options. That’s implicit. Given the diversity of rewarding roles available to them, the best people aren’t pressured to accept morally compromising positions.

Wherever possible we treat all data as a liability, removing it as quickly as we get it.

Thank you. A lot of mercenaries here are posting coopium all over this thread. They just don’t get it, we don’t want them. We believe they’re evil. We see them, and their skills, as a liability and not employable asset.

I’m not going to dox myself so you’re going to get some fuzz. Largest? 400-1500. Smallest? 30-70. Compensation was highly variable. FAANG employees are liabilities best avoided, everyone in leadership positions knows it.

It’s an entirely rational decision. The kinds of people who take a fat salary from FAANG are the exact kinds of people I want to keep out of my companies at all costs. They are negative value add employees and I’ve yet to find a better way

Counterpoint: if you can avoid it keep FAANG off your resume. I’ve always made sure to hit top-tier pay and a FAANG entry on your CV is an instant disqualification.
