Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.
Stock options and grants are a tool to trick you into accepting lower pay and conflating your interests with those of the capital class. (Speaking as someone who has received both!)
Yeah I'm speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.
I wouldn't say my pay is low though, for what it's worth.
Only idiots confuse owning some stock with being part of owner class lol
Same type of idiot who sold out the country for 401k and a McMansion
Yeah I would say that is high enough but its pretty up there for stock to be all that significant.
