Founders lie on those surveys. I bet its closer to 50% who can't make payroll for a month if they only have access to 250k

At the median Silicon Valley engineering wage, $250k would be enough to pay about 100 engineers for one week, or 25 engineers for a month.

Yeah, $250K isn't going to go very far.

most california companies issue paychecks every two weeks
Okay, then. 50 engineers for two weeks. I'm not sure why that matters?
enormously more companies have 50 employees or more than have 100 employees or more
