That’s not actually that good, I don’t think—I go to a good college, and I know many people who are graduating to 60k-80k+ jobs with recruitment bonuses, opportunities for swift advancement, etc. Some of the best people I know could literally drop out now (three or four weeks prior to graduation) and immediately begin making six figures.
SIAI wages certainly seem fairly low to me relative to the quality of the people they are seeking to attract, though I think there are other benefits to working for them that cause the organization to attract skillful people regardless.
Ouch. I’d like to think that the side benefits for working for SIAI outweigh the side benefits for working for whatever soulless corporation Dilbert’s workplace embodies, though there is certainly a difference between side benefits and actual monetary compensation.

A Dilbert comic said it.
