> Bing was extremely lavish in compensation, making offers to the best hackers for $90K/year

Is this a joke?



No. Remember the article talked about poaching students right out of college. $90k a year isn't much for an experienced developer, however right out of college (and at the time) that was 10-20k more than they could expect joining another company.


"experienced hackers" and "students right out of college" are quite different in my world view.
