I'm an SRE (Site Reliability Engineer) for a Fintech startup based in NYC my base is $190000, with options + bonus my total compensation is probably closer to $300k. I've mostly worked in financial for large firms such as Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, Citi, and Morgan Stanley. I now solely work for fintech startups. My career started out as a traditional system administrator working on large Sun Solaris servers (2000 - 2006), I transitioned over to Linux (2007+) then picked up some Java, Python, SQL and I'm now learning Go and big data (Spark) and have a strong background in networking. I primarily get paid to automate and scale infrastructures these days -- my background is that of Google's definition of Site Reliability Engineering, 40% Code 60% infrastructure.


You're actually right Benjamin Hindman now CEO of Mesosphere Inc. started what became the Apache Mesos project while a PHD student at Berkeley, He later left Berkeley, interned at Google, then took a full time role at Twitter where he built out Mesos at scale.

His linkedIn bio: Member of the Technical Staff Twitter March 2010 – May 2013 (3 years 3 months) Built out Apache Mesos (http://mesos.apache.org).


This makes no sense what do they think would happen if Uber and Lyft went away????


Perhaps they think people would switch to public transit like buses or Caltrain.


Precisely. Although, they're a little naïve if they think that's a realistic alternative. The transit system is horrific, having used it for 3.5 years. We're largely in this mess because the transit system is such a mess.

I'm surprised the article didn't also mention the congestion issues at SFO. The departures deck is a mess now that all Lyft/Uber riders are directed there for pick-up.

At least that's what the website indicates.
