No way that's real right? That's more than junior engineers at FAANG


Most engineers at FAANGs cost significantly more than 200K in net employer costs, which is what that number actually represents. As noted elsewhere in the thread, the actual take-home for these municipal workers is $71K, pre-tax.


Do junior FAANG engineers have to pick up human waste? IMO, "dirty work" deserves the paycheck.


Are these real jobs? Where are they operating and has anyone verified their effectiveness? In the last decade, I haven’t seen the poop problem get any better in the Mission, SoMA, and the Tenderloin…

It's interesting to note which jobs get this treatment ("is X doing its job? The problem X supposedly solves isn't getting any better) and which jobs get the opposite treatment ("X is clearly necessary, because without them the problem X solves would be even worse).


I’d say the same thing about the billion+ a year the city spends on homeless “programs”
