Most personal assistants are not going to go find an hire a contract killer for their 200k a year job.



The whole point of fixers are that you pay them a high price and they have a lot of connections and knowledge and can make things happen, and a reputation of discretion to uphold.


I think focusing on the salary number misses the forest for the trees. The specific number isn’t the point.

“Everyone has a price” or something.


yeah, that entry-level FAANG engineer money. and i'm PRETTY sure that those folks aren't paid enough that they're willing to kill for their boss


Reminds me of that scene in Silicon Valley where Gavin clearly wants the protestors killed and he keeps dropping less and less subtle hints at his goons who clearly aren't having it.


> yeah, that entry-level FAANG engineer money.

In the US Amazon pays their SDE1s around $100k/year,with $160k total compensation that is actually relocation bonus bundled with vested stock paid in 4 years.

Elsewhere, salaries are even lower.

So, definitely not entry level FANG engineer money.
