This is the real story. That's absolutely nuts, and yet I know that someone is going to chime in to say that it's not a living wage in Silicon Valley. Which is also nuts.
I live elsewhere, make less than that in my job, and still have money to spare for retirement and extravagances. And my salary is nearly double the average for where I live.
- johntiger1 7y ago> live elsewhere > nearly double the average for where I live Well, that's probably why
- taborj 7y agoThat's kind of my point -- living in Silicon Valley, I'd be paid less than an intern, apparently. Look at it another way - this intern position is being paid more than double the national average salary [0]. Outside of Silicon Valley, that's nuts. Within Silicon Valley, not so much. Ergo, prices in Silicon Valley are nuts. Which isn't news, per se. [0] https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000 https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000
