edit you claim $200k per year at a startup, exactly one year ago.. you got a 33 percent raise to $300k per year now in one year.. while working on old games in java too.. hard to believe, really...
I work as a Site Reliability Engineer. I changed jobs not long ago. The Java game is just a hobby.
Lots of HN posters lie about what they get paid for whatever reason.
Honest question, how do you know they are lying?
Half of that, or more, is likely stock options. It's not unlikely or even particularly remarkable for a large startup to have doubled its valuation since a stock compensation plan started.
It’s $200k base and $100k stock. Indeed at a large startup.
