I am getting very worried. The startup I work at just cut 25% of the staff. Plus ramping up outsourcing to a far cheaper European country.
The writing is definitely on the wall.
- klipt 4y agoRemote work seems like it would naturally lead to outsourcing. Why pay Bay Area salaries to people in low cost areas who are willing to work for much less?
- mmarq 4y agoIt’s not just low cost areas, with half a Bay Area salary you can hire top talent in London, where a very good principal/senior makes 120-130K.
- TrackerFF 4y agoYes, this. If you check out forums like blind - you will find pretty much FRESH GRADUATES considering turning down $250k offers, because they're sure they can get closer to $300k, if they just grind a bit more leetcode and get more competing offers. We're talking about people with practically 0-1 years of experience. Sure, they probably have degrees from prestigious schools, and lots of potential - but so are the devs. you'll find in other places. For that kind of money, you can get the cream of the crop in Europe - and someone with probably close to a decade of relevant high impact / high performance experience.
