Hi /r/ML. I am graduating soon with my Ph.D. in ml/data mining, and I've been looking around for jobs. A lot of companies advertise "competitive salaries", and I was wondering if people here wouldn't mind giving me an idea of what that means.
For instance if someone is advertising a "competitive salary" in San Franciso, does that mean $50k / year? 80k? 100k? What about NYC? San Diego? Seattle? etc?
Non US-redditors what are the salaries in Europe/Asia/Australia/etc like?
Hopefully this question doesn't offend anyone, I'm just trying to gauge when a company is actually offering me what they claim, i.e., a competitive salary, and I think such knowledge is a great tool for new grads. Thanks!
EDIT If you don't feel comfortable saying your salary/giving knowledge under your main, throw aways are a great resource.
