And the cost of living in Cambridge is pretty tough so the FSF job may 
be similar in pay, but either way I can't see how you could ever buy a 
house or raise a family on that kind of money.  i.e. you're not making 
enough.

Somewhere to start for comparison:

These tend to show up in places where programmers are overworked and 
underpaid.  If you're working 9-5 you don't have time for foosball.
