I call BS. Google didn’t have that many hours of interviews for L5 and it’s TC and the TC is around 500k between cash and liquid RSUs.
The comparison to a superintendent is bunk because that’s a politically loaded position so the vetting is high because of that, not the comp.
None of the FAANG gang put up 9 hours of interviews and pay more than Oxide.
Just own it, your process is more time consuming and is NOT normal. But it’s what gives you an extraordinary team. FAANGs are filled with bad hires.
Its simple. Go to Google then. FAANG gang is decades older than Oxide and 3-4 order of magnitude higher revenue. They can hire hundreds of people a year who never do an hour of useful work in a year and still be fine. A startup can't do that.
