You're presuming a zero-sum situation without specifying that. Plenty of situations are not zero-sum and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
> So let's say instead of an Asian senior dev making $180k a year, you now have a (different) Asian junior dev and a Black junior dev making $90k. That doesn't disadvantage the Asian who would have been a senior dev making $180k? Preposterous.
Why are you presuming the Asian developer has to take a pay cut? I never specified that.
- Scalestein 5y agoI believe the response is to you stating you could hire junior devs at lower cost so that you can hire more people and therefore not be zero sum. Posters example is hiring 2 juniors instead of 1 senior. The senior has one less job opening to apply for and is thus disadvantaged.
