Is the example really indicative of output?
Are American tech companies really paying people with 0-3 years experience $100K?
No fucking wonder so many startups “run out of money” if you’re spending that much on people with no fucking experience.
- jonathankau 8y agoHey stephenr, This is pretty common for some of the larger tech companies. While some Bay Area startups do pay a bit less in exchange for equity, it's still tough getting talent given all the competition. For startups, I think the key is to really stay as lean as possible before hiring at all.
- Adamantcheese 8y agoSalary varies highly based on location and should not be a result of your quiz to determine your engineer level.
- stephenr 8y agoAnd thus, I will repeat: this is fucking insanity.
- tntn 8y agoWhy? When rent/mortgage is easily upwards $35k and taxes are upwards of another $30k, that doesn't leave the employer with a ridiculous amount of money.
- stephenr 8y agoTaxes are reflective of income. Less pay = less tax. Ridiculous house prices are reflective of ridiculous hiring/salary practices. Your “solution” created its own problem.
