Brand-new CS assistant professor hires at any research-intensive CS department (there are ~80 of these schools in the U.S.) probably come in around $100k right now (as arjun said, many salaries are public) ... now that's a 9-month salary, so if you get grants to fund your summers (which you will if you're in the groove), that's a starting of $133k annual. That's not bad, considering most of these schools are located in low-ish cost of living areas. Of course, there are no stock options, huge bonuses, and other lavish benefits of industry, but it's definitely still a financially privileged position.
