There, fixed it. These are celebrities within the field and there’s nothing surprising about their pay. YouTube celebrity pays more but I suppose you take what you can get.

What qualifications or degrees do these people posses?
It's experience in the two examples I gave : I singlehandedly built my company : RAMM Science ( https://ramm.science ) And he singlehandedly built one of Europes largest online betting system backends (and scaled it to 800 transactions a second using Deep Learning, Kafka and a Hadoop cluster)
But good work making something and becoming successful!
From the article: "both were recruited from Google". Previous employer seems to be a factor here.

From what I've seen, away from the coasts between $70k - $100k. PhD adds about 25k-40k to the figure, depending on industry.
Counterpoint: I'm a data scientist in the Midwest with a non-CS bachelor's degree, earning $125k base.
So a tiny handful of top performers - plausibly few enough that you could fit them all on a schoolbus - in an ultra-hot technical field are raking in huge sums, for the moment. Unless you are a top professor at an R1 research university or have a PhD from an R1 university studying under the other top minds in the field or are otherwise in the most elite fraction of the profession, it doesn't sound like this is partic…
They say that OpenAI are forced to disclose the salaries. Does anyone have a link to the source, to the document with the disclosed salaries? I'd be curious to see the range.
You can look this up for just about any non-profit, including most if not all ivy leagues.

$300k. I work at Google, have a few good papers, and a couple years of professional experience, and dropped out of grad school. TBH not really clear that I'm doing much better than peers without ML expertise.

He might be trying to say that there are enough people like him in the market that it really shouldn't be a seller's market; but those others are mostly undervalued/ignored, while his value has been artificially inflated because of the (incorrectly!) perceived rarity of his skills. This is the pattern that goes on all the time inside companies: constant attempts to hire talent from the outside, coupled with complete…
I have 3 tests I use: 1) did you pass linear algebra? 2) show me some code you have written and deployed 3) here's Learn Python the Hard Way, start reading and come back with questions. In the modern era, I have not found anyone who can pass test 1 and doesn't know code (except for 1 mathematician who's like 70 and no one cares if he can write code, his ideas are so insanely good that other people write his code for…
