My question is how do you still have employers when you're making 1.1M a year. Jeez.

[Zenfinch]

Certainly is amazing!

I want to know the secrets to being such a good company and/or manager that you can keep someone earning 1.1m on your staff!

Lots and lots of work! Go home at 6pm, work till midnight. Eventually it paid off for me but a lot of times I thought it was just digging a hole to nowhere.

I think the GP was asking about how your company/manager is able to keep you working there.

[TeMPOraL]

I'd guess it's not the company keeping GP there; it's GP choosing not to leave.

[venusflytrap90]

You got it! Nothing that special about the company but it's in a good enough space that I choose to hang around and learn as much as I can about the space.

[venusflytrap90]

The app serves a good niche, I don't want to be stuck in the niche. Employer is in a very fast moving space so a lot of good learnings there. Would hate to stop learning about new things stuck at home

It's by no means guaranteed to last, 1M is not enough to retire in Silicon Valley, and 1M pre-tax is ~0.6M after tax.

we don't know if OP is even in the valley
