There’s a shortage of engineers who will work for the incredibly low industry-standard wages.

- esoterica 7y agoDid you read the comment you were responding to? If they were looking to pay someone “incredibly low” wages they wouldn’t be getting into a bidding war. I don’t know what your definition of “low” is, but there are lots of people at FB and GOOG easily clearing 400k+.
- SomeOldThrow 7y ago400k is still a steal. We need unions.
- titanomachy 7y agoI think the bidding war is actually a sign of a pretty efficient market in that tier of jobs. The only thing that would really increase engineer pay significantly would be killing the H-1B program, but that would probably be devastating to the industry. Especially smaller companies. EDIT: also devastating of course to the tens of thousands of people who would have to abandon the lives they've built in America.
