$1,000,000 annual salary? Hard to believe. Think of all the people, just as talented, who would be willing to do that job for far less.
Not just hard to believe, but simply not true. Amazon has a rigid and low salary ceiling of about 160k. Even their executives /csuite make only 160kish in salary. Look it up.
No one in Amazon—no one—is getting a million dollar salary. You can get that in an equity grant at a high level within the company. But that vests over 4 years in a substantially graduated fashion.
Maybe so. My dermatologist didn’t tell me about it, in fact he was surprised that I knew. I thought it might be his son, but he said his nephew. Why does he make so much? No clue. Certainly a cash-rich company. And kid must be very good, charming, personable. My demo certainly is.
