Yeah, my read is that the teenage hacker confronted with this ridiculous payslip sees two ways forward: accept the pay cut for the CV benefit of working with bug bounties, or get a bit better at hiding your ass and make them really pay.
- james_marks 10mo agoIf I were 16, I’d be thinking I just made an obscene amount of money ($4,000!) messing with computers for fun, and got to meet people at a famous company. That’s a free car. Free computer. Uber eats for months. And my status with my peers as a hacker would be cemented. I get that bounty amounts are low vs SE salary, but that’s not at all how my 16yo self would see it.
