Chris Fry, Twitter's $10 Million Man, Steps Down

Chris Fry has stepped down from his role as senior vice president of engineering at Twitter, switching immediately to a purely advisory role with the company.

The news came, of course, in a tweet.

I’m moving to an advisory role at twitter – so proud of @twittereng and all we have accomplished – thanks @twitter for an incredible ride

Fry famously had a compensation package of $10 million at Twitter, a figure which was cited by some as a warning of an impending tech bubble.
