I agree that there is scarcity on the market, but unless a company is really paying top salaries for their devs, they really cannot say that it’s not money.
- bin_bash 4y agoI made about 650k last year and I'm not even staff-level. I don't think paying 750k is going to attract anyone new.

- bin_bash 4y agoI completely agree
- vostok 4y agoIt might attract me. I work in a non tech role because, at the time I thought that tech paid less than my chosen industry. If I had known that I could make $750k in tech then the gap is small enough that the improved work life balance and lower stress might have tipped me to tech.

- bin_bash 4y agoPart of it is luck in how my RSUs got priced in and stock appreciation. I won't make anywhere near that this year because of how poor the market has done. It'll still be over 400k though. Have a look at https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Facebook,Google&track=Software%20Engineer https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Facebook,Google&track...
- boringg 4y agoTheres a natural cap of talent in a lot of cities, the more you offer only takes from another company instead of bringing more people into the pool. The time to get trained and enter the market isnt instant.
