Math/Stat/ML Academic (Senior Lecturer), Australia. Awarded PhD in 2012.

~A$320K (US$235K)

Comprised of:

* 140K salary * 35K additional loading * 24K superannuation (17% of salary) * 120K contract

1-1 teaching load (1 course each 12 week semester, 3 contact hours per week). $50-100K p.a. research money for conferences, travel, books, research assistance, computers, etc.

The 'contract' is paid to me personally by external company for giving advice on demand, preferred (but non-exclusive) access to my research codes, and for me to develop these codes directly on their data sets. Symbiotic relationship as I get to use their data sets as well.

The best part is NO BOSS. I do what I want all day long...

$0. Left a 108k job, now developing recipestasher.com for free and fun on my own. Will probably get a real job again soon...

Programmer + System Administrator, Middle US

$48,000, $0, $0

Edit: About 75% of respondents at this point are from green accounts. I wonder if that will sink it off the front page quickly.

Senior software engineer. 25-35 employees in the company. 6 years in the company (almost from the start)

210,000$ base salary

Cash bonus is about 12,000$ a year on average (in the last 5-6 years).

I have about 0.8-1% of the total shares. Company is not public, round C.

Location: Bay Area.

How much were you making when you first started?

100-120K

From a previous show and tell session:

I'm getting started with Statistical Learning. It looks interesting to toy a bit with this data after eliminating obscenities. I've seen the storm it generated but didn't think of using it. Thanks.

Glad I could help!

€43,000 = $45,500 salary including cash bonus at 70% part-time (would be €61,500 = $65,000 at full-time)

Looking over the responses from the US, that may sound low, but the cost of living is pretty low around here, so it works out nicely for me.
