Maybe Sundar is better at negotiating his salary than Satya? Can't think of any other logical reason

"It’s not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along."

-Satya Nadella

He was rightly skewered for that comment. Biggest load of pure bull I’ve heard in a while.

You don’t get what you deserve. Often you don’t get what you ask for. You get only what you demand through persistent and effective negotiation.

This is true for a lot of things in life, but it is particularly true for engineering salary.

If your point was, perhaps his salary is so “low” because he actually believes what he said then you may be on to something.
