I mis-read the title and thought someone was going to pay 65k to work at Anthropic. And ... That's a strange thing to do, but financially would probably pay off in the end
I don't know anyone worth knowing who would judge on those grounds. Capable people judge on capability.
The idea that when I need to reach someone for help with something specific, that I know they are very capable of doing, that I would double check their past/current salary, is so laughably detached from reality.

People add the value of being able to say they work at/worked for Anthropic.
You also will meet a ton of high value/highly connected individuals.
The salary could probably be $30k and they would still have to cut the application pile.

And none of it will matter because everyone will know you’re a 64k a year peon.
Working for basically free for “prestige” is a sucker move
