"It depends on the day and on the contents of my to-do list for that day. Some items are interesting and I would do them for free (or for much less than I was paid in any event), other items are boring or frustrating and I think that I could not be paid enough to have to deal with them. Since the interesting problems tended to be more prevalent than the others, I would say overall it seemed like I was overpaid, but, it was probably closer to just right."

"Neither or both. At times they underpaid me and at times they overpaid me. It depended, at any given moment, on the type and degree of problems: challenging but solvable problems were good; frustrating, boring, or unsolvable problems were bad. When my workload was full of good problems, it felt like they were overpaying me but when it was overloaded with bad problems it felt like they weren't paying nearly enough. Before layoff, it would have taken quite a bit more for me to change jobs."

"I think the compensation was good though at times it seemed like it was too much while at others I was sure it was too little, depending on the problems of the day. If I were still employed with LM, it would require a large increase in salary (assuming salary was the only incentive) to make up for losing all of the positive aspects of the company. If the new position included more interesting experience, comparable environment and people, and so on, then the necessary salary would be less."
