Separately, I think the answer was clear to most people - they did better than other well-paying alternatives (meaning it wasn't a poor outcome / waste of effort from individual perspective), but they're not going to share the specifics.
It is fair to ask if they got a good money for it or just a nice job

Uhm disagree, I know what I was posting (doesn't seem it was against the rules either), I was trying to understand better the answer that OP had submitted as a reply to my first question.
It definitely helped me put it into a better perspective (i.e. no clue what an average salary at a large company looks like). That being said the answer to my question from the author still lacks enough details to make "total sense" in my mind - even after passing it through GPT.
I didn't say you didn't know what you were posting, I said you couldn't assess it which is a conclusion I reached by reading your comment which ends: "Not sure if that helps or if it's accurate". But like the mod comments say, HN is for conversation between people rather than a conversation between you and an LLM.
