Mental health impacts of a big tech job

Interesting… Out of curiosity, do people in profit centers get paid more to compensate for the stress?

I’m thinking in terms of Wall Street banks, where for example traders might have very stressful jobs but receive huge bonuses that far outstrip what the more relaxed back office roles get.

Compensation at FAANGs are more or less fixed by level and location. However, people with more stressful teams tend to get promoted much more quickly.

I can't speak for Google, but, at my most recent employer, people on the ads team told me their on-call is pretty hellish. There's no pay differential for switching teams that I know of, either.

there’s no difference in pay other than the fact that anyone with an oncall rotation gets a minor salary bump
