Curious how much cash folks think it takes to cover this headcount. I have a feeling people are wildly underestimating the cost of a team this size.

View on HN

At 100k per person per month it's 400k per month (the actual cost is higher. 100k in salary is easily 150k with all the taxes included).

Times that by 12...

100k/mo is off by an order of magnitude.

I’m sure some lucky people are raking in 1.2M p.a., but doubt the tailwind devs were.

Kudos to them afaik they were trying to pay their people well. I think they were paying more than 100k/year. I remember they had open position for double that.

Sure, but even 200k/year is an order of magnitude less than 1.2mil/year (which is what the great-grandparent comment claimed, given their 100k/mo estimate).

100k a month?? Well there's yer problem lmao

My brain farted :)
