Math/Stat/ML Academic (Senior Lecturer), Australia. Awarded PhD in 2012.

~A$320K (US$235K)

Comprised of:

* 140K salary * 35K additional loading * 24K superannuation (17% of salary) * 120K contract

1-1 teaching load (1 course each 12 week semester, 3 contact hours per week). $50-100K p.a. research money for conferences, travel, books, research assistance, computers, etc.

The 'contract' is paid to me personally by external company for giving advice on demand, preferred (but non-exclusive) access to my research codes, and for me to develop these codes directly on their data sets. Symbiotic relationship as I get to use their data sets as well.

The best part is NO BOSS. I do what I want all day long...

Software Engineer, Austin, TX 95k salary + 20k consulting on the side

I'm moving to Austin soon and currently trying to get a grasp on local salaries.

Would you mind adding your years of experience and what parts of the stack you're working in (iOS, Rails, 'full stack')?

I'd appreciate the update!
