At my company, you earn $8000 per engineering referral that gets hired. But okay, I guess some virtual currency that you issued that might be equal to an iPad will do the trick.

lucky you! In France (where we're located), the average referral bonus is 700€ - for any kind of company. We'd love to know about the size of your company and referral bonuses for other positions (to get a better idea)?
