[p.s. I don’t think we have an argument to be honest. You are arguing facts on the ground, and I am arguing that these facts are distortions that need to be addressed. Peace out. (I sometimes get irritable in the morning. Appy logies fellow code slinger.)] You are having a hard time because you already have your little thesis in hand regarding “SV salary” and are not listening to what I am saying. I am saying that you as an engineer are providing quite a lot of value in today’s world and if the collective you are unable to take the necessary measures to negotiate value for value employment agreements with international corporations, it does not invalidate the fact that a competent SWE working in location X (given that X is effectively and practically accessible to employer) is creating a given measure of units of labor and intellectual value that is independent of location X. I do not agree that SV salaries were excessive. Have you seen lawyer rates? All they do is jaw bone. We are creating the very fabric of tomorrow’s societies. We are creators and builders. What is excessive is the greed of the C Suites. They should be spreading those corporate profits wider, and yes, pay equivalent pay to whoever is pulling their weight.
