I have no clue what typical salaries or perks are in the EA community, and how they compare with similar jobs in similar locations, or how people react to them. So I won’t even try to express an opinion on the content itself. But it shows a very healthy self-awareness that this discussion is actually happening!
Ultimately, for most people, I would imagine the single biggest “perk” of EA work is to be able to work on something they really care about. And the downside to this is that they probably work far harder than they are required to, because they see this as more than just a job.
Interesting read.
