Will I Be Paid in Tokens? (tomtunguz.com)

Technology companies are adding a fourth component to engineering compensation : salary, bonus, options, & inference costs. Levels.fyi pegs the 75th percentile software engineer salary at $375k. Add $100k in inference & the fully loaded cost is $475k. That’s 21% in tokens.

$100k?!?! Damn, what were you doing with all of those tokens? I reposted this here since it's not getting enough attention here: https://outspeaker.com/post/8

Not sure who this person is but they seem to be a partner at a VC? What could they possibly be spending 100k on? Genuinely curious
