What a misleading headline.

Tldr: he had an initial offer from Yelp for 120k and then another offer from Airbnb for 220k which he negotiated up to 250k

So just a 20k bump.

Don't click to read this. That's all this is.

$211k at Google is worth way more than $250k at Airbnb. Who knows what $95k of Airbnb RSUs is actually worth. Also, $25k was a signing bonus.

Why does Airbnb need so many engineers? Is what they're doing really that complicated? How many engineers does Craigslist have?

Please replace the blogspam with the the original post. The BI article is factually incorrect.
