[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That makes sense. Their employees are the best of the best, usually with over a decade of experience in a field which blew up less than ten years ago.

Still chump change compared to what the quants at Jane Street and Co. make[/quote]

Quants at Jane Street make about the same amounts not vastly more although $900k would be mostly for SWE in their 20s.[/quote]
The OpenAI salaries are for the world-class AI experts in their late twenties and usually thirties[/quote]

Then, Jane Street pays more in general and to younger and less educated (BS) employees.[/quote]

It's not a requirement to have a PhD or even a Master's degree to work at OpenAI. Heck, look at the leadership team.

Greg Brockman (President and Chairman): Dropped out of Harvard undergrad after 1 year
Sam Altman (CEO): Dropped out of Stanford undergrad after 1 year
Brad Lightcap (COO): Graduated from Duke undergrad

None of them have advanced degrees and they're steering the ship. It's probably no coincidence that they attended cream-of-the-crop undergrad programs though.

If you want to be on their research team chances are you’ll need at least a masters. But agree it’s interesting that the people running the show either only have an undergrad degree or dropped out. Obviously they’re highly qualified either way, or they wouldn’t be able to have any respect from their employees.[/quote]
