This particular job pays $142,000 to $170,000 and the employer is YNAB, or You Need a Budget, an online personal budgeting program.
YNAB’s website describes its origins: “Julie and I (Jesse) married. Living in love was great and all, but we still required food, shelter, and textbooks for school. (Yes, we were still in school.) I knew we would need to watch what little money we had very closely. So, I began developing a system that grew into something quite useful.”
That was 2003. Now the annual revenue is $48.3 million per year.
