If we’re going to continue doing capitalism, we need to celebrate when people who are responsible for quality products are paid comfortably but not so much that their pay disrupts other peoples’ status.

700k very much qualifies in today’s world.

Stop being crabs in a bucket.

Seriously so much this!!!

These people have a great product and they should be paid enough to keep them from seeking other sources of income. That’s how we got Facebook. Plus having the numbers publicly available is a big plus.

You guys are out of your gd minds I’m not going to sit here and explain what a mode of production is to you, or that executives are not proletarians. Jesus H. Christ
If shit was spread equally, everyone would make >$500 grand a year.
You ought to be tormented by ghosts of Filipino tuna fishermen for such a remark. Firstoids are completely delusional.

Comparably

I’d be surprised if this was accurate. I’ve seen average at Facebook of 350k. But, that’s the problem, we don’t really know as the data is not public.

I would also assume the private company salaries we do know don’t include stock options and bonuses.

I think 700k+ is crazy high for a company without a model for much revenue. However, if they can afford it and the people are worth it, I don’t think it’s a bad thing in and of itself.
