seems to me that employers are working to make sure that doesn't happen. Pay is very, very good. Most of us make multiples of median household income in our respective areas. Plus have better working conditions.
- heavyset_go 8y agoEngineer pay hasn't kept up with productivity gains, inflation and increases in cost of living expenses. The fact is that engineers create an increasing amount of value, and their compensation hasn't increased sufficiently to reflect that. In fact, Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar and eBay were found guilty of colluding to keep engineer pay artificially low through anti-poaching agreements[1]. [1] Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe will pay $415 million in anti-poach deal - http://fortune.com/2015/09/03/koh-anti-poach-order/ http://fortune.com/2015/09/03/koh-anti-poach-order/
