“ In March 2022, OpenSea saw revenues of $61.33 million; in March 2023, it had revenues of $172.33k. The drop represented a whopping 99.72% fall. The platform's fees have also fallen from $193.94 million in March 2022 to $1.41 million in March 2023.” That’s OpenSea, no 11 on the list making $1.4m of monthly revenue and paying SWEs 430k salary
i'm assuming they pay you in NFTs, not cash?
Recent OpenAI datapoints on Levels.fyi show something like $300K salary and $600K "stock", for hires just in the last few months... Is that RSUs at some current valuation? ISOs with strike price at current(!) but assuming stratospheric growth continues over vesting period? Something else? Is the stock value what the landslide support for the CEO-in-exile was about?
This is why adding equity to these comparisons is so problematic. It’s not apples to apples
If the for-profit didn't already have too much power over the non-profit initially, it does when the entire staff has been given multiples-of-salary reasons to back the for-profit.
How that staff misalignment with the non-profit appears to have been leveraged is exquisite, in how well it was pulled off in the end (especially with the drama). But seems to also be a concern for anyone wanting to structure a non-profit in which there's a fund-raising for-profit sideline, when the stakes are large.
This list in inaccurate. Renaissance Technologies isn't even listed, and they offer very high TC. TGS Management offers way more than $500k for SWEs, I know one SWE makes $700k there.
Would it be included in TC that your company managed Roth IRA grows by 66% each year? If so, it would be easily the highest on the list.
On the topic of levels.fyi, the enshitification of the product has begun. It won't let you access things unless you provide your work email? Yeah right, like I am going to do that. A bunch of other mandatory questions in the sign up process also irk me a lot.
This is a issue, as if you need a work email and your workplace actively monitors email and sees a confirmation message of some sort from levels, they could assume you are hunting for a new job and act on it. This seems to defeat the purpose of levels
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Akamai, HP, IBM... Those are just a few I looked up. I didn't look up the ones you did. But I think you're sort of making my point. Do you believe Dell pays better than at least one or two of the companies I listed?
IBM's pay is abysmal though.

Perhaps the right strategy is to start signing up for these the day you join.
