It's a little weird because while $191k is a lot of money to most people (it is twice what I make) but it isn't a lot of money in the Bay Area, especially for an experienced tech person.

More importantly Oxide is only (AFAIK) employing senior people who could make more at another company. They don't have Junior programmers or Helpdesk people on $191k.

It seems to very much be instead of a startup paying "minimum/ramen wage" plus options etc they are paying "middle class bay area wage" + options.
