Figgies is total annual compensation, including 401k match, and excluding unvested stock grants and the value of benefits (e.g. health coverage).

A figgie discount is a deduction in effective figgies due to employer quality. For example, when working at the company formerly known as Yahoo, 6.5 figgies is worth only 6 figgies, because Yahoo.

Given a total annual compensation X, figgies are calculated as 1 + log(base 10) X.
Given figgies F, total annual compensation is calculated as 10 ^ (F - 1).

problem: advertisers want to advertise to people with money, not ones that are broke as gently caress
sub problem 1: our viewers are mostly poor
sub problem 2: people will click on the first entry in a list regardless

When viewed with an open mind, problems practically solve themselves.

How should we apply cost of living to the equation. Surely by not using rent or housing prices or something important like that, perhaps burger prices?

Also six and a half figgies:
$150,000 or $500,000.

Also, we use the price of caffeinated beverages as the basis for the cost of living adjusted (COLA) figgies value.

out of loyalty to the pedantic roots of the great figgie debate, i feel obligated to inform you that dropping one or two figgies on a chair would require you to spend somewhere between 90% and 99% of your gross income, which seems excessive for a piece of furniture, however nice it may be

By convention, operations on figgies are first converted to units of currency. Thus, for figgies, 2+2 is approximately 2.3.

do people not understand that “figgies” means figures? “a p dece six figgies” means a six figure salary, aka $100000-$999999 (so 6.5 figgies should be $500k), so 1 figgy is $1, 2 figgies is $10, etc
6.5 figgies is approximately 316,228.

Figgies do not increase linearly. If they did, then 6.5 figgies would equal $6.5.
