I couldn't read the article because I'm not a DP subscriber. It's not like they're importing 800 people though. I'd guess a majority of the folks they're hiring already live here, don't think they'll suddenly become transformed into different, more douchey, people after taking the job. $180k a year does seem like a high average but it's their HQ and I assume there are some pretty high level execs in that bunch. Guess it doesn't hurt to apply to one of those jobs though if they're really paying that much. My overall feelings about it add up to a tepid MEH.
