Negotiating your market rate isn't caring about money 'first'. It's caring about money 'at all.' They're different.
Leaving $50k/year on the table at age 30 will move your retirement date back ten years. It takes a lot of culture to make up for that.
- humanrebar 9y agoRight. If it's not about money, just issue me blank checks every month.
- moxious 9y agoRemember, labor is just another thing we buy and sell. In other markets, like those for cars, there are specialists that focus on naming fixed, non-negotiable prices. What buffer is doing seems pretty similar. Like I said, the market has lots of options for devs. I don't know if they're $50k off...when I said not all devs care about salary, I'm talking about the last 10%. I don't know anybody who ignores $50k.
