I'm wondering what the base pay is like at OpenAI for their FDE and Support/User Operations roles in Dublin:

I know from experience Support roles pay less than traditional SWE roles (in Amazon, Mongo, Stripe etc) but wondering if OpenAI would pay lucratively more in Support vs. SWE or FDE.

Anthropic as an Org seem to have no support roles which in itself gives details on how they deal with support (probably automated) but they do advertise salary ranges on all their 'dev' roles in Inference and AI:

Senior SWE Inference - Annual Salary: €235.000 - €295.000 EUR
https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/4641822008

Applied AI Architect (Startups) - Annual Salary: €190.000 - €215.000 EUR
https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5228931008

Presuming an L5 in Support at AWS or Mongo has a base of around 80k would OpenAI be expected to pay around 20% more than this or would it be closer to 40% or even more lucrative?

The title of User Operations doesn't lead me to believe the pay on these roles would be comparable to SWE in Dublin.

Support in SanFran for OpenAI has a base range of $180K – $260K:

I'm wondering if that would be similar in Dublin or more in the 100k mark. FDE's look to be $162K – $280K in San Fran too.

If these don't translate directly to euro, is it safe to say you could be paid more as a SWE in a US MNC vs. as an FDE or Support at OpenAI in Dublin?

Obviously Anthropic is a different kettle of fish for bases. Then Equity in both roles could be worth a lot one day... or not

HELP! I'm in NYC for a week Sat 22nd - Sat 28th. 7 weeks out from a marathon
