I'm not a manager, but as a SWE I often hear that employees cost many multiples more than just their salary. $2M might account for <5 employees

That applies to the CEO too right? I was using net dollars. But the point stands with gross dollars.

I don’t think it’s about the number of devs but more about how they rewarded failure with a big raise.

I'm not a manager anymore, but I often hear that browser development can happen outside of the Valley, where annual programmer staff costs are less than 400k a year... Three million might buy you 200 competent SWE in Romania or Russia.
