Comment on Ask HN: Why don't VCs just "suck it up" and pay founders a competitive salary?parent

Get paid 995_850 for not doing much, whereas startups are much harder and are a lot more work.

Somewhere the inventives are misaligned for sure.

You gotta do a lot to get a director gig at Google.

You might not think it's all useful especially if you're not into the people/politics side (I would agree, personally), but it's not like you can go sleepwalk your way into that job.

No ones asking you to raise with us. You can be a PM or EM at a company and have an equal impact.

Also being a Director at a company is a hellish role. I remember my Director of Eng at a startup that hired me as a SWE eons ago was working almost 60-70 hour weeks. They were both technical minded AND business minded
