Techies pulling 1mm+

Thoughts?

''Director @fb posted once into a compensation group asking why his witholding went from 25% to 39.6%. When people told him that happened when your earnings surpass 1M, the post was immediately deleted. It was quite funny.

This wasn’t even at the end of the year.'' -Facebook Employee

''Directors are definitely clearing a mil here'' -Facebook Employee

''director: 750k - 1M
senior director: 1M - 1.5M'' -Google Employee

''$1M+ TC'' -Apple Employee

From what I understand it is possible if your a superstar (obviously) but from what I read tech roles are the more prestigious positions and are paid a premium as apposed business roles. There was an article about google paying someone on the ads team multi million's of equity to get him to stay (he was a Stanford MBA), but I can't find that article.

 

Core functions just get paid a lot more than non-core functions in top tech companies.. so ICs at all levels, managers, directors and VPs of product, engineering, design and data science are getting consistently comped at almost 1.5-2x or more than non-core employees sometimes.

Sales is different because of the commission component - regular comp (base/bonus/vesting stock) is at a discount to core functions just as any of the other business roles.

 

I know some tech guys who work for DC area companies that do alot of federal consulting, that clear 2mil a year. These guys are all mid 30s' and have 10+ experience. They also know how to play the political roulette that is DC federal contracting.

 

My point wasn't to set a "trend" for any industry. It is obvious to most individuals that almost no tech workers, make anywhere near 1mil, unless they are owners of some sort, and in which case you might as well call them businessmen instead of techies anyways.

In general most people aren't going to be making 7 figures anytime soon.
