In November 1957, The Eight moved out of Grinich's garage[77] into a new, empty building on the border of Palo Alto and Mountain View.[78] Their starting salaries ranged from $13,800 to $15,600 per year.[70] Hodgson, who headed the board of directors, suggested Noyce as the operational manager of the company, but Noyce refused.[79] Fairchild, knowing Noyce's personality, also opposed his leadership.[80] Regardless of the will of Fairchild, Noyce, and Moore, who were responsible for the research and production, respectively, became the "leaders among equals".[81]
