The competition for Google back in the days wasn't a random enterprise software shop, it was usually the financial industry or starting your own company, both of which could have payoffs in the tens of millions. When I got my first offer letter (2009), they explicitly said "Googlers do not generally work for Google for the prospect of outsize financial gains." They paid very well compared to your average software company, but there was no way they could match say Jane Street or D.E. Shaw. |
