Honestly, overall comp for both SWE and DS especially has been inflated by the FAANG. Deep down we all know $400-600K overall comp is not sustainable, for the same amount of work that people did just a decade ago for $150-250K range.
- throitallaway 4y agoThis exact same comment could be made about the price of housing, except it's even more out of whack than salaries.
- lunatuna 4y agoI would think so too, but I'm not sure where this is all going. There was never enough people 20 years ago, there is a lot more people needed now and the whole tech space seems pretty poor at growing talent. This seems to be creating a pricing at the margins issue by the deep pockets out there. Maybe the drop is going add more people onto the market, but I'm not seeing it yet.
