I mean as someone who works in American AI chip firms , our compensation is larger. You can bitch about America as much as you want but it's pretty much the best in terms of monetary compensation

Of course I'm late to the game. My colleagues who have been here ten years are either extremely wealthy and bored or sailing the Caribbean at this point. Every other week someone is taking a sabbatical

That’s nice for the handful of people in the right place at the right time, I guess…
Yes, just like the Samsung employees we're talking about.
Very true, but some are acting like it’s the end of the world if a few people in the middle to lower end who worked very hard get a bonus and when I say work hard, I would say they probably in South Korea worked a lot harder that many people in the west in the same position have relatively speaking.
I don't think it's much larger when you adjust for Bay Area COL. Housing and healthcare especially.
I don't live in the Bay area. Left many years ago with my stock options and rsus.
