It is closer to 20 years. She was a founding member of Mozilla. Look back at the early financial statements, in a vacuum a few 100k to several 100k sounds like a lot. When you compare it to other executives in the Bay Area or the US she was significantly under paid compared to peers. Especially when considering stock options. What would it cost Mozilla to hire someone else?
Before someone here says that they would be the CEO for less money than Mitchell. Can you get an appointment with the vice president of search at Google and Microsoft? Could you call their bosses and get though?
- teg4n_ 3y agoIf they were the CEO of Mozilla they would because that’s the whole point of talking to them.

Could you call their bosses and get though? I'm sorry? My entire life I've been told that CEOs make 1000x as much money as me for golfing and writing a couple emails a week because they're genius Ubermenschen whose illuminating strategic insights add orders of magnitude more value than my measly toil, but you're telling me it's actually because other executives are willing to take cold calls from them? That's why?
- sjfjsjdjwvwvc 3y agoIMO it’s mostly because it’s a miserable job that few would be willing to do. I at least wouldn’t, no matter how many millions they throw at me - even disregarding all the career ladder climbing that is needed to be considered for such a role in the first place.
- sydbarrett74 3y agoOne difference is that Google is a for-profit, publicly-traded company. Mozilla is a sort of hybrid in the sense that the Corporation is wholly owned by a non-profit Foundation. Most people don't go into the non-profit sector to get rich. Their utility comes from something else (e.g., goodwill or a sense of noblesse oblige).
