Btw for those who don’t know, this app is called Blind. It’s where tech workers go to anonymously post. Also 700k TC is basically their yearly take-home pay, and it’s a real number (see levels.fyi)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

These people are disgusting, contributing nothing to society, not realizing how privileged they are, while the Lemmy devs live in poverty

    If you’re at a public company you can just offload the stock and it basically becomes salary

    Edit: Ignore the downvotes. People on Lemmy have no idea how RSUs work. Unless you work somewhere shit or your company just imploded, this is basically equivalent to salary. Source: half my TC is RSU

      Problem is you have limited trading windows as an employee with shares. Ours get held in escrow until a period passes then we can sell it.

        And it gets even better if you’re on a schedule that’s more restricted due to access to mnpi; you get a window of like 7 days every quarter at most, sometimes much smaller

      And if that public company has stock in the toilet it’s worth fuck all to unload
