I do a lot of interviews lately, I see the writing on the wall. Skilled developers understand they have leverage. One developer turned down a 300k job offer, which was the highest I have EVER personally offered, so I reached out to him to ask why. He told me he'd be happy with 80k remote working in a nice area where he could afford a large house, white picket fence, and have a life with 3 kids. He would not compromise on his quality of life. A whole generation has gotten screwed and victim blamed for it (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/15/millennials-are-to-blame-for-sky-high-inflation-strategist-says.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/15/millennials-are-to-blame-for...), and the ones with leverage are out for blood. I can imagine the millenials and zoomers without anything want to just burn the system down.
