Btw for those who don’t know, this app is called Blind. It’s where tech workers go to anonymously post. Also 700k TC is basically their yearly take-home pay, and it’s a real number (see levels.fyi)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

These people are disgusting, contributing nothing to society, not realizing how privileged they are, while the Lemmy devs live in poverty

    This isn’t a real thing. There aren’t many softwares devs making 700k salary. I’d be surprised if that number reached dozens.

      The very highest up (that I was aware of) at the 3 big tech companies that I worked at made about $500k, so $700k isn’t too far off. But they weren’t really coding much anymore. These people were making systems architecture and development decisions for huge systems. But there are definitely more of them than a few dozen. Across the field I would guess there are hundreds of engineers at that level, maybe thousands. I’m sure they make less money if they work at a smaller company, but they’d also likely get a much bigger piece of the pie in stock.
