You better perform with that pay

Or...?

I mean, Netflix-style hunger-games management might be their thing, and if I got in there at $900K (I did apply!) -- then sure, I'd be working nights and weekends just to shine.

But even at infinite comp, above a certain size there will be dead weight.

How do you objectively measure the performance of an engineer?

Genuinely curious.

>>m3kw9+(OP)
There’s been a couple times in my career where my income needs were low enough that for one more raise I could afford to hire an assistant. For that kind of money I could hire several. And an apprentice.

Is Netflix really that bad? They aggressively state they quickly fire people. But I've also seen reports that their turnover rate is low, and they don't have a PIP culture. It looks to me like people are reasonably happy there for the most part.

Let’s say that I work at another company known for its PIP culture. If I only last 4 years through my initial offer - I both made more than I would have made anywhere else for my skills and experience and now I have that company on my resume. How is that a bad thing assuming I didn’t blow the extra money on coke and strippers.
