Do you receive any hourly pay for putting in the 80+ hrs per week, any sort of income for the remote and/or in person besides the room and board? If it doesn't pay any sort of salary I can't see how they can have people give up nearly 3 months of all income for this.

This is the Achilles heal of the program. They want experienced engineers this time around but if you work that hard you probably already have a job paying more than you'll get paid after Gauntlet. I watched their entire live 1 hour vibe code competition and lets just say they attract a certain person. It was the "bro"iest tech thing I've seen in years.
