Seriously? You've heard of engineers being hired for 2M? I want that job! This is a serious question. 2M is just unthinkable for me.

- patio11 12y agoKnow that this is a thing that exists in the world. At least one HNer could get it approximately tomorrow if they wanted it. Typical form is a large equity grant which, for a publicly traded company, is indistinguishable from cash with a vesting schedule.
- tmuir 12y agopg is an HNer. It's safe to assume that several other HNers have reputations that would allow them to write such a ticket. Do you assert that someone whose only marketable skills revolved around software development could achieve such a thing?
- patio11 12y agoI assert this. Please understand if I can't be more specific than "I have material non-public information on this topic."
- kngspook 12y agoI believe that a (relative) large number of HNers could pull 2M in comp annually. I believe very, very few could do so in a purely-technical, no-management role though...PG included.

- shitlord 12y agoThe most I've ever heard is 1M from someone on Wall Street. I'm even more jealous!
