@jeremiahg@dhw $200K/y isn’t very much compared to either Lenovo’s US$20B/y laptop sales, Google acqui-hires, or Wall Street quant bonuses.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

@jeremiahg@dhw Like, US$200k/year is about 0.001% of Lenovo’s laptop revenue here, or 1% of Lenovo’s CEO’s salary. Is infosec so worthless?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kragen@jeremiahg@dhw $200k/year in total comp or salary? That's not a lot for total comp nowadays: http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Senior-Staff-Software-Engineer-Salaries-E9079_D_KO7,37.htm ….1 reply 2 retweets 0 likes -

@danluu@jeremiahg@dhw That’s a great data point. I hadn’t realized Google paid US$440K (0.0022% of Lenovo’s laptop revenue) for hackers.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@danluu@jeremiahg@dhw Although I imagine Lenovo can hire people in China cheaper than that. Imagine! The price of a laptop rising by 25¢!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kragen@jeremiahg@dhw Going rate for a normal engineer is more like http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Senior-Software-Engineer-Salaries-E9079_D_KO7,31.htm …, but that's still north of $200k in total comp.1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@danluu The issue is@jeremiahg’s claim that Lenovo couldn’t possibly recruit decent security talent because scarce even at $200+k/year@dhw2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@danluu@jeremiahg seems to be claiming that “scarce at $200+k/year” means “scarce”, but those Google numbers strongly refute that.@dhw1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kragen we should remember though. those are software engineers, not security people. not good substitutes.@danluu@dhw1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@jeremiahg @kragen @dhw Don't know how it works elsewhere, but security folks at Google are on the same pay scale. And why wouldn't they be?
