Doesn't matter. All those lawyers from that Fortune 500 company negotiating non-stop for a year aren't going to be able to buy that house at the end of Malibu point for the same price as a similarly sized one out in Chatsworth. There's only one of that house, and it costs what it costs. Take it or leave it.
That's the position that good developers find themselves in today.
Yes, there are a lot of ordinary devs out there who would be happy if they didn't have to negotiate to stand out from the other ordinary devs. But really, if you're an ordinary dev, the better plan would be to work towards being an extraordinary dev, the kind of which there exists only one, right out at the end of the point in Malibu.
That's very achievable in today's job market. Think long and hard before you throw that away for the security of a Union.
- nosuchthing 11y agoExceptionalism does work for the 1%. Unions are simply a pool of skilled laborers whom know they are being paid less than they're worth. Any other assumptions of limitations imposed upon a union member are up to the actual terms of a specific union group. Nothing about unions existing would change much about the highest skilled groups of (non-union) programmers.
