> People who think techies are well paid probably haven’t tried raising a family yet.
I started my own fintech startup by bootstrapping and working 90+ hours a week and I managed to survive in Boulder where/when the average house price was over 1 million USD, you will get no sympathy from me.
My investments are the only thing that saved me, and I didn't have health benefits that entire time. I treaded water and almost drowned many times most of it's existence while disrupting an entire Industry in the process and eventually got head hunted by a mega corp.
When will you realize that are not one of the tech oligarchs? What part of that don't you get yet? You're an expendable part of the equation.
You guys have been coddled so much by these corps that insulate you from reality I almost wonder if you can see the trees from the forest and what your role is in all of this?
We are making the same point. I think few people are under any illusions, the “comparing total
compensation” movement probably came out of people wanting to get a
bit more out of the ogilarchs for that comfortable retirement but not thinking they are one themselves (numerically there can only be so many)
