It's super annoying that this person is pushing for the elimination of including the currency in the job posting. There are more than one country which use "dollars" or the $ symbol you know.
It reminds me of "Falsehoods programmers believe about names" https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...
- jermaustin1 7y agoBUT in the United States, where these jobs are being advertised and employing the works, there is only 1 currency. I wouldn't expect to get paid in Argentine Pesos in NYC... would you expect to get paid in Rubles in Sydney Australia?
- rocky1138 7y agoIt depends on if it's remote work. Not everyone who works at a company in a given country needs to physically be at that location or paid in the local (to the business) currency.
- azhenley 7y agoThe job posts he quoted were all New York. I don't think he is suggesting to eliminate the currency, but rather to eliminate dev salaries that are lower than the poverty line.
