That's probably [EDIT: decidedly] on the low side for the bay area for rock star devs, and Oxide has lots of rock star devs. I haven't looked but I assume they pay bonuses, probably differential bonuses.

We are not paid bonuses. We do receive stock.

I took a base-pay cut to work at Oxide. Zero regrets.

Hi Steve, bit of a tangent, I stumbled upon your blog from intro section and went down the rabbit hole. Wanted to ask if you have any recommendations on documentaries. TIA!

I am unsure why you are curious about documentary recommendations from me, haha, but here's one I enjoyed quite a bit recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKP1I7IocYU

Like Steve, I also took a pay cut (from around 400-600k a year TC at a FAANG) to work at Oxide. I'm very passionate about what we do and was attracted to the values-oriented culture.
