Is it me or does 400k seems like pennies for the defense industry? Didn't she get 200k to do a talk at goldman? Does 400k really in debt these pols so much? How much media does 400k even buy?

This. A while ago I was looking for a job. I had offers from large companies at N00k per year with bonus. CEO of start up offered me 50% less of the combined salary and bonus and then explained he was making that up with equity. My counter point was that he was asking me to invest 50% of my total compensation over what could be 5+ years in the company and if that was the case the equity compensation should be higher to reflect that risk premium as well.

We didn't see eye to eye on that and I work at a large company now.

In reference to the table with national age averages, I would love to see those numbers redrawn from the perspective of development staff only. I'm curious about this because I think in recent years there is a corresponding jump in the number of computer science graduates. There may just be more programmers in those lower age brackets and as an organization that skews heavily toward developers your age grouping may just be lower.

That said, google's recruiting process is horrible and robotic. Feel for the guy.
