whoohoo break out the champipple! (for you non Sanford and Son fans, that's champagne mixed with ripple)

So, if those are really the Google salaries, we are talking about 2000 more people who still cannot afford to buy prime Manhattan real estate.

"around the globe" "roughly half of them in the United States"

"around the globe" "roughly half of them in the United States"

$100k is pretty good in India

Roughly half in the US, and probably 1/2 of those in Palo Alto/San Jose, with the other 1/2 scattered through the US. So another 200-250 jobs in NY? for people who can afford $2500-$3000 monthlies, and from the most successful company today in the US (non-Apple division).

We are saved!

sorry for the snark, but when you read Citi is adding 2000 people that will mean something. Or Conde Nast. Or a BigLaw firm.
