Do employees of American IT companies often have promotions in their campaign?

Question

Career in IT

Employees of American IT + companies often include shares in compensation (if this company is public).

Ten years ago, shares were also included in the salary?

The question is: do employees like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Uber, Netflix, and other companies whose value has skyrocketed over the past 10 years, have they gotten rich?

Or does the share of their compensation change downwards over time?

Answer 1

Dude in these companies, the average programmer gets 20k bucks. And he works there not for options and for dollars
