Well, yes it is still a job. But I don't think applicants will regret making that much money :) And frankly Bitcoin core devs deserve it. They have been working for 15 years with little to no pay. It's time to cash in.

Hey, I'm happy for anyone get paid. I'm just amazed at the salaries. You would think salaries like that would attract so much talent, that the salaries would quickly come down. Some weird demand bottleneck, I guess. I keep hearing about crazy-high US salaries, but nobody wants to hire the dirt-cheap Europeans. It's so weird. Seems like an arbitrage opportunity. 🤔
