Literally from the link above: https://openai.com/careers/researcher-frontier-cybersecurity.... $400k in cash plus substantial equity is going to easily cross 750k

The person hired for this role will almost certainly have a PhD.

Right, the context was missing out on "top talent". Top talent gets those crazy salaries.
OpenAI has 5k employees now.
Yes, you see these headlines about ml researchers getting paid a ton, well thats because there's 5k of them on Earth.
Unless you're a VP or PhD you're not getting life changing compensation. And guess what, all those people can get similar compensation elsewhere without slaving away 4 days a week in an office in San Francisco.
Your average employee is not making an extra 750k. You know you can look at compensation online you cant just do vibes based analysis and just invent your own reality. Find me a position at OpenAI thats paying 750k compensation.
