It makes sense to take median employee, especially when you consider how much difference there is when you compare a Senior SWE to like a Customer Success Associate or something, but seeing some of those companies who have high median salaries is nuts lol.

Roblox has around 2k employees with a median salary of $315k, so you're telling me around 1k people at Roblox make OVER $315k??

If I was CEO I'd go for the million.Makes no sense to be in the position you get the hardest problems to solve in the whole company and still make 300k.To add to the list, FactSet's CEO makes about $1.4m.https://www1.salary.com/F-Philip-Snow-Salary-Bonus-Stock-Options-for-FACTSET-RESEARCH-SYSTEMS-INC.html#:~:text=As%20Chief%20Executive%20Officer%20at,made%20%246%2C604%2C998%20in%20total%20compensation.
