【New Zhiyuan Introduction】Many people only knew for the first time yesterday that the goods were originally so profitable! Duke University professor Chen Yiran joked on Weibo that the solution to the income gap between computer academia and industry has finally been found: to fully promote "scientists with goods"! What is the income of university professors, is it really not as good as the Internet factory?
Yesterday, a sister of domestic live broadcast with goods, Via, was fined for tax evasion!
The Inspection Bureau of the Hangzhou Municipal Taxation Bureau found that the network anchor Huang Wei (network name: Wei Ya) evaded taxes of 643 million yuan and other underpaid taxes of 643 million yuan between 2019 and 2020, and made a tax administrative treatment penalty decision against Huang Wei in accordance with the law, recovering taxes, collecting late fees and imposing fines totaling 1.341 billion yuan.
What is the concept of 1.341 billion?
Some netizens said that such a large amount, its practical unit of measurement will not be more intuitive.
For example, Zheng Shuang, Wang Lihong, Fan Bingbing, and "I myself".
True humble belongs to yes. I know that I make a lot of money with goods, but I don't know how much it is!
More netizens said that they could not see so much money in this life, and could only wait until they went there to rely on the performance of their future grandsons during the Qingming Festival. (Think about it too much, there is also a need for macro-control to control inflation.) ）
The matter quickly became the number one hot topic without suspense. Not only ordinary netizens, but even professors and scholars are also discussing, in order to make more money, do you want to change directions, and engage in live broadcasting with goods in the future?
Chen Yiran, a professor in the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering at Duke University and an ACM/IEEE Fellow, said on Weibo that after several days of heated discussions in the computer professor group, a way to solve the widening salary gap between computer-related professors and industry has finally been found!
Vigorously promote scientists live streaming with goods (manual dog head).
Of course, Professor Chen's Weibo is just a joke, and it is not really recommended that everyone go and bring goods.
But then again, the widening income gap between the computer industry and academia is indeed a trend that has become more and more obvious in recent years.
Computer-related majors fresh graduate treatment a springboard a year, large factories and schools recruit annual salary of 30-40 w, this income level not only exceeds the professors and scholars of some universities, and the gap is also expanding year by year.
It is no wonder that Professor Chen personally went to Weibo to call on scholars to "bring goods".
So, how much money can a college professor make in a year?
U.S. college salaries
According to preliminary data from the American Association of University Professors' Annual Faculty Compensation Survey, at doctoral institutions, the average earnings for professors this academic year are $159,919, associate professors are $104,482, assistant professors are $91,408, and lecturers are $69,295.
Professors at master's degree-granting institutions earn $104,389, associate professors earn $83,958, and assistant professors earn $73,492. Salaries at undergraduate institutions are roughly comparable.
Rounding is almost exactly a fraction of "1 wei": 0.001 billion, which is also the most easily omitted data (doge) in recent reports.
Private University Professor Salaries 2020-21 (Average)
Unsurprisingly, the top ten schools with professor salaries have a high degree of overlap with the rankings.

Compared with private colleges, public universities are much lower. Of these, the University of California's branches account for half of them.
Public University Professor Salaries 2020-21 (Average)
Previously, Chronicle Data conducted a statistical survey of the 2018-19 teacher income of 773 public universities and 1733 private universities in the United States.
The results show that in the 2018-19 academic year, the average salary of a professor at a U.S. university was about three times that of the average worker (the average salary of a U.S. worker in 18-19 published by the U.S. National Bureau of Statistics was $43,460), and the salary of a professor was still significantly higher than the typical middle-class income level.
The average annual salary of a professor at a public university in the United States is $128,831, the average annual salary of an associate professor is $92,034, and the average annual salary of an assistant professor is $79,873.
The average salary of a professor at a private university is about 6 percent higher than that of a professor at a public university, at $136,767. But the average annual salary of a Private University Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor is lower than that of a public university, at $91,876 and $77,600, respectively.
Domestic college salaries
According to the frontier report of deep learning technology, the minimum annual salary of a tenured professor of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China can reach 900,000 yuan, a long-term associate professor (tenured) starting from 650,000 yuan, and an assistant professor (tenure-track) of 500,000 yuan.
Of course, the requirements are also very high. Take long-term professors:
In his research field, he has made important research contributions, achieved academic achievements recognized by international peers, has considerable international visibility and influence, has excellent performance in talent training and achieved good results, plays an important role in discipline construction, and reaches the world-class university long-term employment system professor and equivalent level, or a particularly outstanding world-class university long-term appointment system associate professor (academic level reaches ACM/IEEE Fellow and other internationally renowned academic organizations and national talent program inductees can directly declare, No external audit required).
As a second-level scientific research institution of Peking University, The Wang Xuan Institute of Computer Science of Peking University is the main construction unit of the national key discipline of computer application technology.
Among them, the annual salary of the chair professor is not less than 1 million yuan, and there is a 10-year housing subsidy. If you are the world's top scholar, you can enjoy higher treatment.
In addition to official data, many netizens have exposed their income.
A 35-year-old Top2 assistant professor said that the salary adds up to more than 400,000, the provident fund is more than 6,000 per month, and the outside lecture review is estimated at about 50,000. However, his project has won one national natural science foundation, one international cooperation project, and two horizontal projects, a total of 1 million.
Another netizen is a computer science professor in Beijing 985, who has a total of 6 PAMI+CVPR articles in 2019. The salary is about 400,000 yuan, but there is no other income.
Although only looking at the salary, the same grade may not be much different, but with the addition of year-end awards, project resources, colleges and universities themselves, etc., the result is a world of difference.
Internet powerhouse
After talking about the professor, let's take a look at the Internet factory.
For example, how much can byteDance engineers make in a year in the United States?
Preliminary statistics show that TikTok offers engineers on U.S. work visas a base annual salary of between $120,000 and $480,000.
In terms of median, if only the title of "engineer" is considered, the highest base salary is network software engineer (software-defined networking), which is $288,000.
In addition, the basic annual salary (or median) of engineers in many directions of TikTok has reached about $250,000, such as infrastructure engineers, full-stack engineers, senior front-end engineers, senior software engineers, etc.
The lowest-paid ar software engineer is an AR software engineer with a base annual salary of $125,000. $130,000 for performance and capacity engineers and $135,000 for test engineers.
On the domestic side, Zhihu user "Zengjia" summarized a chart in May 2020, showing the approximate salary level of newly hired employees at all levels of several leading Internet factories in China.
He said that these data are compiled from the offer data publicly uploaded by users in the "Pulse" job talk area, and only discuss the income level of new employees in the headquarters of the big factory, and the data is for reference only.
These are still last year's data, and according to the trend of previous years, the salary level of new employees of this year's Internet factories will be further improved, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 10%.
