Oxide’s Compensation Model: How is it Going? oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

Got some comments that support people don’t deserve $200k/year and all I can think of is youtu.be/qyIyT2qTtzY

Even if you think that support is somehow “lower” than engineering (which I also take issue with!), everyone deserves to be well paid for their work. Yes, even the jobs you somehow think are beneath you.

I had a gig for a while where I had to spend one day a week in support. It was internal tech support only, but it was still way more stressful than my engineering duties. It was eventually handed over to a proper tech support team and they did a much better job of it than us engineers.

My cleaner cleans my house better and faster than me. One could argue she deserves a higher wage than me.
