That's odd...
Just got a new job with a startup and they're doing the open salary thing where everyone's salaries are calculated based on a specific formula and you can just look at a spreadsheet to see how much everyone makes.

were you just straightforward about your salary expectations then

because it's not a faux pas to be explicit about cost of living differences between rural arkansas and wherever in colorado you ended up

Blodget peppered Bezos with questions about why Amazon is “famously frugal” and doesn’t match the type of employee perks that other high-profile tech companies offer — there are no free lunches at Amazon cafeterias, for example, and the cash components of employee salaries are often well below those of top competitors.

Bezos argued that Amazon has its own “very significant benefits.” One is Amazon’s location in the city of Seattle, instead of a suburban campus. That allows 20 percent of employees to walk to work.

Then there are the food trucks. “We have an unbelievable food truck scene around our headquarters,” he said. “It’s out of control, actually.” Amazon also allows employees to bring their dogs to work. But the real showstopper may be office windows that open, Bezos said. You read that right.

“People, it turns out, really like fresh air,” he said. Take that, Google!

oh man this is me with texas friends and also some sf friends who aren't tech. most of them works part-time retail jobs for like $8/hr and their partner basically pays rent and they're literally broke all the time. a programmer friend got laid off when his company closed shop and he was complaining about not being able to find a sixxy figgy job to replace his and they were all totally blown away that he makes more in a month than they do in a year
