The real question is will two $150k programmers produce more than three $100k programmers. In Silicon Valley, my experience is yes.
The same ratio probably applies anywhere, but the relative scale changes.
- jtheory 16y agoAh, but programmers don't come with these labels, do they? And of course the $100K programmers are happy to accept an offer at $150K as well (though they won't be any more productive), in which case you've actually just chopped out a third of your productivity.
- binaryfinery 16y agoWhy would you offer the $100K programmers $150K? Ah, you are saying that because programmers don't come with labels, you are unable to tell the two apart. I would suggest that you don't be involved in recruiting then.
- blacksmythe 16y agoThe $150k programmers don't answer job ads. They get all of their work through referrals.
