@elebertus@eigenmagic.net The MEDIAN comp for a staff-level engineer is $685k. But OpenAI is top-heavy with Ph.D.-level researchers and data scientists that spark bidding wars, where signing bonuses and salary bands go out the window. Ruoming Pang signed with Meta for $200M (not a typo) last July, and left for OpenAI 7 months later (package not disclosed). It's that tier where the money is beyond comprehension.

    @mattmay@mstdn.social I mean I even have seen SRE / infra positions at both anthropic and openai for 500k+ usd, which is insane. Even more insane than Netflix salary. That’s wild. Truly wild.
