So 3 months of training and 6 months of memorizing algorithms. That's worth 130K + 25k signing bonus(let's leave RSU aside)?! The guy never built a real production system, never shipped a product, wasn't an online tech celebrity, nothing. Something is very wrong here.

Memorizing algorithms is all a lot of big companies care about, it does seem. It feels like it wouldn't be a predictor of success in any way, but hey maybe they're right.
I agree something is wrong; We're all underpaid.
