since the dot-com. Good times man.

\_ lies, damned lies, statistics, willie brown speaking, and motd
"personal anecdotes"
\_ "Silicon Valley tech stocks plunge along with the Nasdaq and Dow."
\_ What the heck is in Akron, Ohio?!
\_ I am being recruited by Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. It is like
\_ No really, what the hell is in Akron, OH?
\_ I am being recruited by Facebook, Google, LinkedIn. It is like
1999 all over again.
\_ Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed called me the other day, they
also liked that I spoke mandarin. Wooo!
\_ My little brother is a VMWare administrator. He just got an offer
for $150K/year at a Fortune 500, which seems pretty good for what
he does. Just two years ago he was making half that at Microsoft.
\_ Crap, I am only making $200k/yr and I have 15 year experience.
I am going to go ask for a raise.
\_ Is that all? My little sister is making $350K/yr in
industry and my son is starting a job at $500K/yr plus
bonuses.
\_ Im at 1.2 mil, 7 figure club, baybee!!
\_ my total compensation at HP was $34mil. I slept with
a hottie, left HP and now making even more $$$ working
with my buddy Larry! -Mark Hurd
\_ I really do make $200k/yr, including stock. It is not
that terribly uncommon.
\_ You made $200k in one year? Or you made $200k every
year?
\_ One year in the dotcom era, I made $350k but that
was by selling a bunch of pre-ipo options on
overinflated stock. I make $200k every year now
and only about $15k of that is in stock. I just
offered $150k/yr to a SA-type guy with 12 years of
experience and only an AA but he declined and
experience and only an AA degree but he declined and
decided to take an offer with Netflix making
$170k/yr. You should get a glassdoor account if
don't already have one.
don't already have one. Know any solid Unix
Sysadmin types who want to work in a big Silicon
Valley tech firm (not Google)?
\_ I really do make $500k/yr including also the occational
perk like an intern blowjob and an all expense paid
vacation.
\_ Are you an executive?
\_ Larry Parker got me 2.1 Million.
\_ Buy now or be priced out forever.
\_ Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. |
