Postdocs get paid a lot though ours get like $11k a month for math

The NIH postdoc rate and therefore academic standards in most places for all biomedical postdocs is ~60k. Math is an outlier by a lot.

I guess they have to compete with the financial sector and the likes? Over here, it varies wildly by field and by what you do.

I volunteered a fair bit at my college’s food pantry. The undergrads might grab one or two things. The grad students and the post docs were desperate.

You gotta compare this to standard industry pay for this level of education
