I imagine most are not making 300k. Also, like many things Google does, I'm guessing it's partially because scaling is becoming an issue.

It takes a while to get a space ready, and it's also not easy to just expand around existing offices when they're already quite large.

Admittedly, much of this would probably be solved if they were more OK with remote working, as there's a high emphasis on in person collaboration. I suspect they've done some studies on this matter though.

I work for Google but opinions are my own.




The standard corporate cost estimate for an employee is to double their salary. Thus someone paid $150k costs the company $300k


Ah I appreciate the correction.
