On: Employees at Practice Fusion got nothing as execs ...

You'd have to be making 700k+ a year to be banking 300k after tax. Perhaps the valley slipped away from me but I find it hard to believe that there would be average employees in that range.

I did it at a FANG, and it wasn't 700k/year. Admittedly, this is the longest runup in stocks we've had for some time, but just prudent saving and investing (and possibly working for a FANG outside the valley) did it for me.

Your tax math is bad. The pre-tax figure, even with California income tax, is closer to 500k than 700k.

And some of that 300k/year difference is coming from growth of invested savings, not just W-2 income.

So “any good” engineers are making $500k now?

I haven’t been on the market in a while, seems like I fell behind the times.

I never made that claim, and you're ignoring investment gains.
