Currently at 1.8m ish total comp:

  - 1.2m cash
  - 300k RSUs (probably worthless or I leave before 4 year vesting cliff)
  - 200k equity (only one job is at a publicly traded company)
  - <150k cash bonus

More power to you, man. I find 0..1 of these startups provides enough daily aggravation. (Though that could argue for throwing a pile together and ending it quickly.)

I also dislike working at these places. This is something I'll be doing for a few years and then leaving corporate life with a big pile.

jeez, where are you getting jobs where you can work like 2-3 hrs a day and get paid 250k + ? Are u a leetcode god or a 10x programmer?

froaway4jobOP3y ago

Senior to Staff positions at medium to large private or mid cap public companies expect little from their engineers :).

Definitely not 10x and I suck at leetcode style problems. I'm probably a 2xer who acts like a 1xer. That's the real secret. Don't overachieve.

You are actually the living proof there is a 5x to 10x difference between some programmers. Since you have 4.5 jobs.

Thanks for coming forward.

Series D companies above 1B valuation?

How did you make it to senior staff without leetcode? How many years YOE to get there?
