LOL.
If you think that this should be the yard stick, you certainly think too highly of the tech industry, to the point of delusion.
SV VC startup land is the exception that proves the rule. It unfortunately gives everyone here a massively overinflated sense of worth.
“Everyone gets paid exactly what they’re worth”, “market forces”, blah blah blah. But the reality is that you just won’t find nearly as much easy, dumb money anywhere else. Hearing kids that’ve been spoiled by the SV startup scene whinge here about things that are completely typical of even the most cushy tech jobs jobs ANYWHERE ELSE is so telling.
