Is there the same volume of work though? Being paid $400/hr is good, but if you can only get 20 hours a week, it's not so good...


Exactly where do you live that $8000/week is "not so good"?


Not so good as it first sounded ;)


I'm not going to answer all of this question, but I think Matasano is pretty representative of high-end security research firms, and we're slammed. High multiples of that 20-hours-a-week quote.

Again, I'm sure there are other fields that get similar premiums and are in similar demand.
