On: Tech workers remain some of the highest paid in Ne...

[iab]

He meant making in the medium hundreds of thousands : 1/N millions, where N is low. I have never heard anyone describe income this perversely

[sarchertech → iab]

I thought maybe that’s what that meant but then dismissed it because I thought that’s just too odd to consider.

[stavros → iab]

We're all making high quadruple digit (1/N) billions here.

[anon84873628 → iab]

I assumed this to mean "around 1". But really, why be coy in a scenario like this? Just say the damn number... it's not going to change anything.

[explaininjs → anon84873628]

There's no single number. Ranges from 1/4MM to 1/2MM depending on when/how you account stock grants, 401k matching, ESPP, etc.

If it doesn't change anything why make a big deal about it?

[sharemywin → iab]

still doesn't discount the 1/N drop in pay to go into the military.

[explaininjs → sharemywin]

I don't really care about pay as I've said I saved a lot already. Just looking to do something Good (USCG, for instance).
