Tired of fish trolls

After the new overall market pay increase, a lot of younger fishes (<3- 5yoe) don't really know what a good offer is anymore and honestly ask if 25lpa is "good" enough. The reason they ask is because they honestly DON'T KNOW. They haven't been around the industry or earning many years to know the value of a great increment.

75% of the comments are trolls trying to put the person down. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything and move on in life.

That said. About the OGs
1. Some of them are obnoxious and this can be seen in their replies to people who aren't trolls
2. Some are really oblivious to the value of money since they just started earning
3. Some really don't know what the market standards are any more (honestly it's very confusing for everyone)

To the fishes replying
1. No, a lot of people aren't lying about their salary. Just because you don't have it doesn't mean it's all fake. Companies are paying really well. Just because you personally don't know someone earning that well, doesn't mean it's fake.
2. This is supposed to a supportive community to uplift each other. You know about good salaries n opportunities in companies because people post it. The more you continue your trolling, the less people will share the kind of opportunities they have come across.
3. These people who get these unheard of salaries have worked really hard in prep to get them. And they have proved themselves to whichever company has given them an offer. Instead of putting them down, ask them how they prepped or just plain say congrats and move on. Don't hate on them for doing well in life. If you envy them, use that as motivation to move yourself

To everyone:
Find happiness in the moment and keep learning even if you aren't trying to switch. Money will never be enough and that should always be a part of your motivation but not all of it. Work towards money+physical and mental wellbeing+a life outside work+ keeping up with latest tech.
Spread encouragement, not hate.

Just got an offer that I want to take. They told me that the role is full-time, full benefits, includes equity, and is a much higher base salary than I currently make (+50%). But for some reason the role is paid out hourly. AKA a minimum of 40 hours a week at the rate of the salary / (52 * 40) then anything above that I get overtime. Why would they do this? What is the downside? Aren’t they paying me more with this setup than I would have taken if it was just salary? What am I missing?

Recently accepted a great offer from one of those startup-within-a-large-company outfits. The startup farms out the hiring stuff to the larger company. In the new hire paperwork, I noticed it said the comp was based on my being in a Tier 1 CoL city. Prior to accepting I'd mentioned to the startup I was looking to move, and they said it shouldn't be an issue. Will they adjust my comp down if I move to a Tier 2 city? Startup is fully distributed and remote.
