I have a theory if you want a haskell job you have to compromise heavily on many other aspects of job criteria such as salary, preferred location, interest in the domain etc. Why? Because there are so few of those jobs that it is highly selective and leaves you no selectivity for other aspects.
Want $300k + Haskell? You better be someone who wrote GHC!
Want $300k without Haskell? Just need US residence, and coding skills and be a bit ruthless.
I think a good Haskell job is the on where you build your own micro SaaS using Haskell.

- quickthrower2 5y agoIt wasn’t a social commentary, just an observation that way many more people are at the intersection of can code and can work in the US, vs have some serious Haskell/FP bragging rights.
- zerr 5y agoPeople who work on GHC are good C/C-- programmers working at Microsoft Research (Cambridge) for 60K GBP :)
- krsrhe 5y agoDo they have side income based on their leadership of GHC?
- __s 5y agonb spj has left MS Research: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/new-horizons-for-spj/3099 https://discourse.haskell.org/t/new-horizons-for-spj/3099
- thewarrior 5y agoDoesn’t Microsoft research pay top dollar ?
- the-lazy-guy 5y agoThe only person deeply involved in Haskell at MSR Cambridge was Simon Peyton Jones. And he was Senior Principal Reserarcher. You can look up the total compensation for that level on public salary sharing websites yourself. You are off at least by a factor of 5.
- zerr 5y agoI see. Although, for Cambridge, UK, I might be off by a factor of 2 at most, I believe.
