Companies that complain about lack of talent are generally the ones that refuse to pay competitive salaries. These are also the same ones that want the government to increase visa limitations and import cheaper engineers from overseas.
If there was a true talent shortage you'd see increases in salaries and other methods of compensation.
- friedman23 8y agoTo be fair, competitive salaries are almost absurdly high nowadays.
- jorblumesea 8y agoCompetitive salaries are just that, competitive. There's no concept of "too high" or "too low", just what the market accepts and will pay for. Companies love the free market when it benefits them and hate it when it benefits skilled workers.
- friedman23 8y ago>There's no concept of "too high" or "too low" Did I say so? I'm not saying it's too high. I'm saying it's absurdly high. If I was saying it was too high I would be arguing that it should be lowered which I obviously would not want.
- ncallaway 8y agoI think most people would interpret "too high" and "absurdly high" to mean reasonably close to the same thing. That's probably why you're getting downvotes.
- friedman23 8y agoI mean, I don't think my statement is in any way inaccurate. It's kind of absurd that you can get a job that pays $200k+ total compensation your first year out of college with only a bachelors degree. Some people within the field don't even believe it's possible.
