Justin Fung, a senior engineer at Nvidia, highlights how the company's long-time staff prioritize passion and work over equity values. Despite Nvidia's surge in fame due to AI and crypto, employees don't discuss their equity worth, indicating a strong company culture focused on purpose. Fung notes that Nvidia's rise to prominence has significantly increased employee compensation, with salaries exceeding $220,000. However, he emphasizes that turnover remains low, suggesting employee satisfaction and commitment to the company's mission is a core part of Nvidia’s identity.
"People don't really talk about how much their equity is worth, because they were never really there for the equity; they really just liked what they were doing."
"It's a really interesting company because it only became famous in the last five years; the initial broader spark of interest from the outside world coincided with the crypto boom."
