i dont understand why salaries should be same for a similar role. If I work twice as fast and with a better work quality than my collegue why shouldn't i get double his salary? are we in a communist country?
- Pxtl 6y agoI work in healthcare where this is handled by job titles and it seems a lot healthier. Job title makes it clear that it's about greater responsibilities. "Why is Jeff paid more than me" "Because Jeff is senior dev and you're junior dev" is a much easier conversation to have, and everybody's job title is very visible.
- tonitosou 6y agoim not sure. in a perfect society if the junior dev is better and works harder and bring more value to the company he should be better paid than his senior. it is capitalism and if a company is judget by its output an employee should too
- Pxtl 6y agoIf he's better and brings in more value, he'llbecome a SR dev quickly.
- tonitosou 6y agoso 1 senior dev = 1 senior dev? you're surely thinking same for a doctor right? and you will trust with your life a guy who studied less and got 10/20 at all his exams all his life and went party while the other one was practising surgeries?
- NineStarPoint 6y agoIf the other dev can’t perform better than a junior dev, they shouldn’t be a senior dev. There’s no reason that you have to go up in the titles over time if you can’t improve your capabilities. Titles should reflect skill, not just be handed out due to age.
- MaximumYComb 6y agoI spent a decade in a similar paid field and while pay was tied to position there was no real way besides time to figure out position. Junior dev vs senior dev is often a matter of time and not ability.
- galoisgirl 6y agoHow do you measure that you're twice as fast?
- tonitosou 6y agowell i do the same work twice as fast and with twice as less bugs. people are not machines we don't have all the same output and don't all deserve same money
- galoisgirl 6y agoIf you work as precisely as you answered my question, you don't deserve the twice bigger salary.
- tonitosou 6y agosure. make sense. if someones works twice as much and the output is twice as much he shouldn't get more than the other guy. You are right. Obviously once you all unemployed because you're competing against people who go beyond you'll blame the politicians
