IKR? A stagnating wage means you're actually taking a yearly pay cut, and inflation adjustments actually mean a stagnating wage. It was less noticeable before the pandemic because only assets were growing faster than inflation while food and goods seemed to stagnate, but now everything is booming. Consider that other professions have less bargaining power than SW devs. I'm thinking about moving to Belgium where I hear salaries are automatically indexed by inflation.
