@MountainOfMoon @ani0075saha Also, CS salaries did go up last year

[Vishnu Sashank Dorbala @vdorbala]

@MountainOfMoon @ani0075saha I filled out the form for UMD there last week (It wasn't listed before that). It asks for us to use https://t.co/fAEGWu2eqR for gauging living costs. CP wasn't listed there, so I put in PG county, which was 46K. Which does feel kinda inflated.

@cibiarjun If only you had listened then, to all of the If's and then's,
You may have risen above the countless effigies of men!
If this makes sense, it must then end with a then!

@cibiarjun Wow. This is 2020's real shocker.
