Can you please elaborate what are “X2 all-in cost” for a $150k software engineer?
I can imagine it would include things like an office space, snacks, yoga classes, etc.
I don’t think it is anywhere close to additional $150k, maybe $10-20k.
Your software engineer, have a manager, was hired by the Human Resource department based on a contract written by the legal team. Your company also most likely has sales persons, marketing, project management and a product development team. Then you have office cost, health insurance plans, etc.
