Silicon Cash

Of all the folks out in Silicon Valley rolling in the cash the ‘Googlers’ are now among the wealthiest.  Michael Arrington wrote on TechCrunch recently about how there are 1,000 Google employees who’s stock grants and options are worth, now with the recent increase in price, over $5 million.

See said increase:

Google Inc. (GOOG) 

There are other Google employees who haven’t made millions but think about this…those who joined Google just one year ago, when I joined the workforce, are doing just fine also.  Those hired one year ago, on avg. received 685 optioned shares and are now worth on avg. $276,000 or $662 per share. Also they received 230 shares outright.  Decent huh?

 Would you accept a job that pays $276k + $50k = $316k a year right out of college? I might.
