That's no guarantee, though, it would have to be negotiated. And let's face it, most devs aren't the best at negotiating....

I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.

You don't get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.

Sure you do, the Bay Area is full of below average devs with RSUs.

They're below average devs because they compensate with better than average negotiation skills.

No, if they had negotiation skills they would be below average managers.

They eventually will be.
