I heard that they give shares to employees in the US permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago As far as I know, $150K isn't less than the median for software engineers in the entire US . It is less than the median for Senior/Lead Software Engineers though, so maybe that still works for you. In a HCOL city, you likely get far more than this amount, but it wouldn't go nearly as far obviously. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 1 point 3 months ago That's not less than median in the US. That's in the upper half, probably upper third of software salaries. Silicon valley shit really warps perspectives. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago* If it's direct deposit, the $6k is probably for a two week pay period. That's the standard for most corporations in the US. Withholdings, including taxes and retirement accounts and health insurance, is going to take roughly 1/3, so this guy is making $9k x 26 = ~$235k (probably more like $250k/yr). permalink fedilink source parent [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 child) no it's not. at least where i live, it's considered poor. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] rishado@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
