Considering the amount of effort in getting a job there, the hours worked, and the cost of living in Mountain View, I think that roughly equals minimum wage. Maybe they need a software engineers' union.

Jesus, that's roughly 3x's what I make, and I'm on call 24/7. But then I'm not a genius with 3 phd's like the people that mop floors at google.

2 is more rounded than 5, which is actually kind of squarish at the top. Yes, it is round at the bottom, but 2 has more rounding overall than the bottom of 5.

You have an NDA that you can't even name your employer?
Yes, some of us do. For example, I'm not currently allowed to mention that I work for them, and I can not do so for 1 year after I leave.

For $228K, I'd move to Atlanta tomorrow even if the job was licking zits.
