But a new grad returning intern was doing 380 at FB Thor first year in cash and stock.
And why not? These companies are printing 10MM per marginal hire.
Why is it a crime that the people doing the 18 hour days capture a bit of it?
Server side, at a big enough scale, it might make sense for optimization, tuning, measuring, resolving weird bugs, etc.
