If they are able to consistently get job offers and perform well at companies which pay that well, why would they expect any less? Just because they are young they shouldn’t know what the market rate for their labor is?
Honesty a lot of this just sounds like sour grapes
- hello_moto 7y agoI don't know your environment but these fresh grads around me their attitude is unlike the attitude of the fresh-grad in my time thanks to these crazy salaries. So while you can say that sounds like "sour grapes", I do have to say that there is an increasing sour grapes among the fresh grads.
- pb7 7y agoIt sounds like it bothers you that people know their value in a given market and are capitalizing on it like you could not and maybe still cannot. Sour grapes sounds about right.
- hello_moto 7y agoIt's not just "Hey I should be making $X". There are other baggage that comes along with it: Company X pays more than company Y therefore programmer in Company X is better than Company Y. (X=Facebook, Y=Amazon). Or things like "your TC is low, you must be suck".
