In the short-term, this is good for AirBnB now that it&#x27;s clear that AirBnB pays extremely well. The floor is actually $250k--almost certainly everyone will look at their own resume and feel they have more experience than this new guy. I doubt the company can pay every SWE this rate as the minimum--otherwise, they would&#x27;ve publicly advertised this before.<p>I just don&#x27;t think AirBnB can pay higher than Google in the long-term--are they really making $1M in revenue and quarter million per employee?
