Was just about to post that exact link. Still not too shabby.
Not bad, but I was making the same in 97 with about the same experience level, in Atlanta. It wasn't an exceptional salary in any way.
Did he hand in his resignation and was asked to reconsider? Did he tell them he wanted more money? Did they find out about the twitter offer from outside sources and arrange for the bump?
How did the semantics play out?!
Sundar Pichai was also offered $50M. As things have settled down, I doubt if this would happen again, at least anytime soon.

Ahem. This is 10-15x the money portion of tenure. You still have to think about advertising all day every day. I'd take the tenure.
I am completely naive to what you just said, may you please explain like I am five? [I am dead serious]
Reading this, his compensation is the least amazing part. If this article is true, it should have been titled "A Story Of Competence". Does anyone have any doubt the guy is generating Google this money many times over? It's simple math. It has nothing to do with curing cancer, economical equality or anything else. He's something that's worth X and pays back many X. I can understand why this comes as a shock to some;…
I find this fascinating. It almost smacks of game theory. A land-mined game of incentives, anyway. Think of the sheer amount of considerations that go into a decision like this. Higher-ups at Google must acknowledge: * Offering someone an enormous sum only after someone else has made you an offer can be off-putting. Consider the many articles written about never making counter offers[1], or never accepting them. * Al…
Giving him $100M was more of a correction because he arrived at the company later than the other equiv execs. Most of the top tiers of employees at Google, which is where he would be, are worth hundreds or millions and more through vested stock, new options, bonuses, etc.
This is a job for life and then some. If you compare this with full professorship (academic tenure), that will cost the university about $4 million (assuming $60k/yr - probably $6-7 million if the university is upper echelon). So conservatively this is 10-15x what tenure is. Neal Mohan sounds like the business equivalent of Jeff Dean [1] [1] http://research.google.com/people/jeff/

That sounds no difference from 'think about chemistry all day every day', doesn't it?
I think advertising is more interesting and inspiring these days than many of traditional science areas. Not to mention it's a huge field including bleeding age AI, Big Data, performance, etc.

Google is safe offering him $100M without offending the other employees, because the other employees at that level at Google already earn that much, if not more. Giving him $100M was more of a correction because he arrived at the company later than the other equiv execs. Most of the top tiers of employees at Google, which is where he would be, are worth hundreds or millions and more through vested stock, new options,…
