I&#x27;d just note -- both total-profit and profit-per-employee are REALLY terrible ways to predict employee happiness. Just look at some of those rankings. They&#x27;re a really mixed bag of both exploitive and great employers. I mention this because I always hear inexperienced people from small towns using those metrics, in isolation, to rank their employer choices. It&#x27;s such a bad approach.<p>I&#x27;d even argue that highly-negative profit, pre-profitability employers can be far better for tech employees.<p>- High profit = the company&#x27;s major problems are already figured out, they already have a money-making machine, they don&#x27;t desperately need you and in fact you may be a liability who could break their already profitable machine. They could fire nearly everyone and possibly continue making bags of cash for a very long time.<p>- Highly negative in profit = they desperately need someone to solve their problems fast, which in tech product companies is often by making some new tech. Without you, they&#x27;re nearly guaranteed to end up very screwed.
