How can I get one of these jobs? I am currently an OK web dev.


These $100mm+ hires are centering divs in flex boxes on the first try. They are simply not like you and me.


Hahaha well you got me there. They are earning it.


These are not just people with credentials, but are literally some of the smartest people on earth. Us normal people cannot and should not think we were just a few decisions away from being there.


Get a PhD in a related field like math or computer science.


And have spent the last 15 years working on the cutting edge of AI research.


That is unfortunately far from enough. The majority end up doing ok but nowhere near this much money.


There are millions of people with PhDs in math or computer science, and none of them earn that kind of salary. Just like there are Usain Bolts and Michael Phelpses in the world of sports, there are similarly exceptional individuals in every field.


actually applied math or statistics.


it also helps if you happen to know a bunch of openai trade secrets.
