A friend of mine did a PHD in text search and is now employed by Microsoft straight after the degree on a starting salary coming to about 45K with perks. I guess it helps if you get a PHD in the area where there is demand. Microsoft might be able to absorb a lot of search engine specialists because of its pig headed determination to topple Google.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
