Thanks for asking about this. Ben's remarks on that were a reaction to a bunch of candidates for entry level position complaining loudly about entry level pay.

Thanks for asking about this. Ben's remarks on that were a reaction to a bunch of candidates for entry level position complaining loudly about entry level pay. He noticed that being hung up on pay was inversely proportional to perceived awesomeness (although some of this may be sour grapes and/or confirmation bias). It turned into a bit of a fiasco and I'm sure he regrets saying anything about it. The truth is, people at Cheezburger are paid at competitive market rates. The entry level positions are entry level. Positions for experienced professionals with specialized technical skills and relevant education are not. I have no complaints about what I earn. Benefits could stand to be a little better, but that's always tough for small companies.
