What do you mean? The AI/ML scientist is pretty serious title at General Motors?

Well, to be fair he’s got a PhD, not exactly no experience

You’ll be looking at an equivalent of L5 at amzn or L4 at Google, which is around 300k TC. Maybe a 40% discount for GM?? So 180k?

So I just got off call with them and they want to push forward said I’d be hired at L6 or L7 they said their base would be around mine and bonus but no equity. However I’d imagine they’ll pay more assuming they want me as why would I move if they don’t pay more....

Yea salary is also directly related to where you are, so I don’t know if that’s low or high without knowing location
