Good for you.

Would the pay scales below for post-doc positions be about rightish or make you laugh hysterically?

Relative to my salary as a board certified physician in private practice, I take about a 10x pay cut.

I guess since I sling code/data I take a pretty nice pay cut relative to that also.

Whoops!
