2022 is a great time to join a start up. Tech compensation has plateaued at a high level. The “recession” is good for innovation. And in recent years early and extended exercise have become the norm, so equity is less of a scam.

And start ups are fun. https://zachholman.com/posts/the-basement/

In what sense has tech compensation plateaued? Maybe compared to a few months ago, but my sense is that there has been significant growth over the past year.

Over the last couple months, we’ve seen hiring freezes from several top payers, which has a knock on effect in reducing negotiation leverage with competing offers. Just my subjective SF-based opinion, it may well be growing still in aggregate or in particular segments!
