#2Seems 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.

#3Isn't the theory they won't be able to get anyone at that salary if it is too low?

While single and working at a startup back in the dot-com days, I shared an apartment in the Richmond district with two other people. It didn't seem all that unusual. I assume people still do that?
Seems like it would be okay temporarily until you get a raise and the stock options kick in.

"Comfortably" varies by person. I know many people living fine on less in San Francisco.

In practice it doesn't work like that, usually people who start with those kind of salaries get stuck as a permanent underclass in the Bay. When I was working in biotech out in SF plenty of people were getting like 45K and just expected to make it work. The places who were really on top of it would be pretty overt about making examples of people regularly to remind the staff that another guy or girl from India could be imported in tomorrow.

Unfortunately you don't have a good perspective, since you were sort of carried along and "made it" by dint of timing and location.

These days when you accept salaries that low you’re effectively locking yourself into them for a good long time.

People add the value of being able to say they work at/worked for Anthropic.
You also will meet a ton of high value/highly connected individuals.
The salary could probably be $30k and they would still have to cut the application pile.
