This is exactly why for many engineers and FANG companies for years, there is no fear of a job loss.
If a software engineer was making $450k/year for several years, he/she/they is already several years if not decades ahead of those that aren’t.
This guy’s story is not unique. I can count several engineers who left Dan Diego for Netflix 6-7 years ago for similar packages. IF they were to lose their job or quit, they already have enough fuck you money , so it’s not like they are going to break a sweat.
So while dz, you might actually think layoffs and/or forcing people to return to work or firing them.would.drasrically affect some of these people…bad news… While as you might have been making 1/3 less than them and need to work another 10-15 to reach the same net worth…these folks took.a shortcut and brought in the financial house in just a few yearsz and don’t have to play by the same house rules as you do.
That’s reality, no matter how many news article you try to find to make yourself feel better that somehow a layoff or a recession would even things up between you and them.
