        I gather their email contained a solid illustration of the $ value that they brought into the company via their work? That would be about the only thing I could think of that would justify that much of an increase in one hit.

        Without giving any specifics of their situation away I think you might be underestimating “That is an interesting offer but AppAmaGooBookSoft also has an interesting offer 1~2 levels higher; can you do better?”

        That blog post has to be in the Top 10 of the posts that have created the most value in recent years.

        It is (almost annoyingly) likely either the #1 or #2 thing I've ever done by economic impact.

        Startup employees, send the following to your CEO over Slack today: "Hey, I'm a huge believer in the mission and would like to invest a min of $200k. What are good next steps re docs + wire instructions?”

        You've tweeted a few versions of this...are you guys just throwing away money or is stripe just not paying anyone market until they give an ultimatum?

        Not a Stripe story. (My inbox acts as a bit of an Internet clearinghouse for anecdotes relevant to my hobby horses; this is one of them.)
