An engineer in India made $45k in 2 months by doing RLHF work for model providers and it is the most trending story on a popular subReddit today.

A 3-4 year experience top quality (p90) product engineer at a good company/startup could make $40-50k USD per year.

This person made this by working with lab data enablers. In 2 months.

Engineering leaders in India are not realising but it’s going to be a competition against these companies to hire engineers >> rising the cost of hiring !

Lot of replies in the subReddit saying “me too”.
