Above a certain level of expertise, ICs are far harder to hire than management-like positions.
This is definitely surprising to younger ICs in the industry - who seem to want to become engineering managers any way they can.
The ceiling of genius you can possibly spike to as an engineer is far higher. I’ve seen single engineers at smaller startups perform the work of entire teams at big companies. And these folks get paid maybe 3x-4x the standard engineer salary. Huge savings. But hard to hire these folks.
- rolleiflex 5y agoLASR, you seem to be shadowbanned, but your history doesn’t show anything weird. I vouched for this post to make it visible to everyone, but I don’t know if vouching lifts the shadowban entirely or just makes visible this particular post. You might want to reach out to dang just in case to figure this out.
