Someone posted the hourly wages and salaries offered for working at what I believe is a large truck stop chain. They post this information freely to attract applicants.

I look at it a lot and try to up my confidence in asking for more compensation.

225k/yr working for Buc-ee’s?

https://d2u3dcdbebyaiu.cloudfront.net/uploads/atch_img/788/6...

With 250 employees[0] and $20MM yearly revenue[1] a Buc-ee's can pull numbers a many startups would envy. I'd imagine managing all of that is not trivial.

To put things into perspective, the highest level employee in an organization that earns $20MM yearly revenue makes less than a SWE2 at Amazon.

And arguably works 5X as hard.
