I joined few days ago to this amazing site,
and it was an eye opener for me towards big tech companies, faang, growth, bay area, etc ..
but what opened my eyes and mind more, is seeing blind flashing me with that huge salaries of more then a million. so i was calculating how much the guy who makes $1.5M salary, get each hour, and i findout it was $750/hour. that was my salary of two 2 weeks in my first job. lol
How can someone reach that salary?
what's the plan !!!

if you mean you hit more +$1M, then you did great!
Tell us some tips then
But that's not without hard work and ultimately patience.
Does their salary stays even if stocks goes down?
But then you keep getting refresher for the same dollar amount, so you're getting more shares (lower price per share). Then some time later the stock goes up, those $ becomes $$$..
People who stay at good companies through bad times when the share price plummets are often rewarded this way.
Imagine people joining AMD when the share price was below $5.
Many people at Snap got such TC after stock appreciation, I am sure that there were other companies like this - Pinterest? Roku? Maybe something else
