For senior AI research roles like VP of Research or Director-level safety/alignment positions at top AI companies (Meta, Scale AI, Google DeepMind), total compensation typically ranges from $500K to $2M+/year, depending on base salary, bonuses, and equity. Meta in particular is known for very aggressive compensation packages for top AI talent."

DEI hiring and government/ corpo enforcement guaranteed this shit would happen. Meritocracy is a myth until freedom of association is real again.
They're all idiots
