      YC asking for ways to improve the experience of working early at a startup ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17286939 … ) has a lot of people asking "Wait, are rumors of engineers at AppAmaGooFaceSoft predictably getting $400k packages true?" Yes. Yes, they absolutely are.

      I feel like @patio11 is selling a "you, too, can play as a professional in the NBA!" narrative here which is.. a disservice.

      From the first comment in this thread, I believe the relevant population is programmers at YC startups. What fraction of those folks *couldn't* get a job at one of Google/FB/Amazon/Netflix or a finance shop that pays equivalently or better? My guess is less than half?

          Or on the flip side: what's the over/under on the ratio of kids who dream about playing in the NBA : kids who dream about being a desk jockey at a big tech company that pays well?
