"Typical A.I. specialists, including both Ph.D.s fresh out of school and people with less education and just a few years of experience, can be paid from $300,000 to $500,000 a year or more in salary and company stock, according to nine people who work for major tech companies or have entertained job offers from them."
Wow, half a million dollars in salary, I'm living under a rock.
Sign me up!
- jchonphoenix 9y agoIt's less than you think in the Bay Area. Above average engineers easily break 300k. Really good ones will break 500K. After rent and taxes in the Bay area though, if you're in the 300k bucket, you'll only have 140k left not including higher food / transportation / private school costs. Definitely a good amount but much less impressive than the original sounds.
- skybrian 9y agoMileage definitely varies on living expenses. Anyone who doesn't have a family (yet) can save far more than that.
- seattle_spring 9y agoOnly 140k left over!? How do they eat?
- utopcell 9y agoFree food ;-)
- 0xfaded 9y agoDon't forget taxes paid on illiquid stock compensation.
- mcv 9y agoSign up to move to Silicon Valley. I don't think they're paying these salaries in other areas. Still, articles like these do make me regret leaving AI and moving into web development 15 years ago. Back then, there wasn't a lot of work in AI.
