If you’re making as much or more than a medical doctor, should you really complain if your comp is flat?
I’m in that boat, and my comp was more or less flat this year, as was most of the company. I’m overjoyed and ecstatic and thankful to be making this much.
But some of my colleagues are furious and upset. C’mon, really?
I guess if you’ve been making FAANG comp all your career, you have no experience making anything less? Versus if you’re coming from the non tech world where a senior or staff SWE will retire in their 60s making about as much as a FAANG junior SWE, you have a lot more to be thankful for.
