I think I found the solution, not basing yourself in one of the highest cost of living areas.
Mozilla hires devs all across the world, many in countries where developers are much cheaper than in the USA.
So then where does the 200k - 400k come from? That salary would be outrageous for software devs over here in .nl, let alone for a non-profit.

#193Dope website and inspiring personal website: https://gkoberger.com/ Now I gotta work on my personal website.
Hmmm

#194Thank you to the MDN and Servo teams for all their hard work. I wish you well for the future and hope you find a new gig soon.
Thank you to the MDN and Servo teams for all their hard work. Gutting the Servo team makes me wonder if management is going to move the rendering engine from Gecko to Blink. Perhaps the "Foxium" browser is "coming soon."

Not happening.

The Fix The Internet incubator doesn't look like very much money is involved. A $2500 stipend for participants, a top prize of $25,000, not that much money. Whereas layoffs of 250 people will save maybe $50 - $100 million a year. Of course, perhaps they will also cut future funding to this incubator, and it's just a different timing that they announce it.
They're paying their devs 200-400 grand a year? Jesus.
I was laid off and had 10 years of tenure. Salary, bonus, and benefits amounted to a TC of around 300
Mozilla’s layoffs were to get rid of the highly paid engineers, IMO. We have new talent coming in fresh and loose for a bunch less.
We also have a lot of cash in the bank. Mozilla is wealthy. CFO was asked to increase runway.

Thanks! Made it quick from scratch with Express/Stylus. The database is Airtable. The animations are SVGs with some CSS.

Its speculation. Cost of benefits/rent/etc is expensive in the Bay Area, but no one is getting $25k worth of dental insurance or anything.

Define "subject to". The policy explains when they give permission, but nothing it says has any effect on which situations need permission.
I'm not a lawyer, so I can't, won't, and don't need to answer that. However, people have had their pet projects shut down for way less obvious things than this.
Fine, let me reword it as a non-question.
Anyone can make a page with guidelines. If I say someone "photoshopped" an image then I'm violating Adobe guidelines. If "subject to" means I'm acting inside that scope, then I'm subject to them. But if "subject to" means they can do anything about it, then I'm not subject to them.
The way you're talking about the policy isn't making it clear which meaning you intend, but it's very important to distinguish between those meanings.
There's no need to be stubborn about clarifying what you meant. If you use a term, and someone asks what you mean by that term, "I don't need to answer that" is a very strange response.

I'm an American who worked in Germany. I interviewed in the the Netherlands, but was horrified by how low pay was in the industry.

#200Hey all, I built this last night as a resource for connecting Mozilla Alumni during this rough time. Mozilla laid off some truly amazing people this past year.... many of whom I worked with 10 years ago when I was there. As for why there's a red panda in the boat... despite the logo distinctly picturing a fox on fire, a "firefox" is actually the name for a red panda!
The animated boat is immensely cute. I have a lot of respect that you cooked this up in one night, it humbles me.
Props to even come up with the idea.
