$65K to work at Anthropic? Debate ensues amid IPO wave

Seems roughly in line with UCSF's entry-level post-doc compensation: https://postdocs.ucsf.edu/pay-and-benefits That too, of course, is too low to live comfortably on your own in SF.

Isn't the theory they won't be able to get anyone at that salary if it is too low?

This was a really dumb move by Anthropic. They can clearly afford to pay more and attract the best talent. Why be so stingy? Focus on growth.

Even if the intention was for equity to be the main driver of compensation, how is someone supposed to survive with RSUs they don't even have yet.

People will just do anything to avoid building more housing

On first read of the headline I thought they are now offering a way to join Anthropic by paying them 65k USD. Sounds like a steal to get Anthropic on your resume!

I really didn't care what my first IT job paid I was just happy to have the opportunity.
