What a misleading headline.

Tldr: he had an initial offer from Yelp for 120k and then another offer from Airbnb for 220k which he negotiated up to 250k

So just a 20k bump.

Don't click to read this. That's all this is.

Why is someone willing to pay him that much in the first place?

Always an interesting question. And of course if you make 250K on your first job, it really isn't going to go up all that much from there.

$211k at Google is worth way more than $250k at Airbnb. Who knows what $95k of Airbnb RSUs is actually worth. Also, $25k was a signing bonus.

Exactly my thought. Even the initial 162k at google seems like a better deal.

Why does Airbnb need so many engineers? Is what they're doing really that complicated? How many engineers does Craigslist have?

Please replace the blogspam with the the original post. The BI article is factually incorrect.
