That's why you should lie even to forms when asked for your salary.
- pcurve 10y agoLet's just all put down random number between $220,000 - $275,000 as base.

- omouse 10y agofor devs it would actually get our salaries up to the right level, the big tech companies held down wages for 4-5 years.
- dclowd9901 10y agoThis reminds me of a funny conversation I had once with a recruiter. He essentially demanded I provide him a salary number to give to a prospective company, as I had been flatly refusing to on the basis that it puts me at a disadvantage. Eventually I threw out the highest amount I'd ever earned, about $225k a year total comp (partly tongue-in-cheek, partly to make a point), and he got really angry with me, telling me I was wasting his time and that nobody got paid that much. Needless to say, I ended any dealings with him at that point forward.
- iaw 10y agoI've capped out my income at the moment, when recruiters talk to me I always try to force them into the compensation discussion first. Including risk discounts, expected future growth rates, etc. they quickly stop wasting my time.
- suyash 10y agoSerious all developers should actually do that. I would say go beyond the $500k ceiling as well. It is us to blame for the low salary we have accepted from employers and then blame it to the companies.
