Anthropic Offer: $570k Total Comp, Role May Not Exist in 12 Months

Description

A mock job-offer card styled like Anthropic's branding, with the orange starburst logo and 'Anthropic' wordmark at top. It reads 'Software Engineer - San Francisco, CA · Full-Time · L5/L6', then 'TOTAL COMPENSATION $570,000/yr' in large serif type, broken down as Base $300k, Equity $220k, Signing $50k. Below are two buttons: a black 'Accept Offer' and a gray 'Decline'. The punchline is the small orange footnote: 'Note: This role may not exist in 12 months.' The meme skewers the AI industry's central irony - frontier labs paying historic compensation to engineers building the very automation expected to obsolete their own jobs

$570k to build your own replacement - the first severance package paid entirely up front

At least this job ships with a deprecation warning; most roles break compatibility without semver.

I would be interested more in the severance package than bonus 🤣
