| I wouldn't feel too bad for them with their top-of-market comp and valuable RSU packages. |

| I don't believe they pay top of market, but even if they did, it's possible to make a lot of money and still feel bad when you have a sense of ownership and responsibility to the users of your service. |

| ▲ | giwook a day ago | parent [-] | | The comment I responded to said they felt bad for GH employees. I was saying I don't feel all that bad given they are well-compensated white collar workers (like many of us here). Life is pretty good if one's biggest concern is work stuff and you're not personally in danger or actively being harmed. That's all I'm saying. | | |

| GitHub doesn't pay top of market. |

| ▲ | giwook a day ago | parent [-] | | You're right. That being said, 300k TC for E4 is still pretty good. Plus the RSUs have gone up like 60% in the last several years so that 300k package from a few years ago is maybe 350k or more by now. My point is that they are compensated well. They should be feeling pressure to get this stuff right when their product is core infrastructure for a majority of the digital products that exist today. |
