Eloquently put. The last time I was on the market I didn’t apply to a single company that didn’t list salary - every time I’ve done that their pitch was underwhelming.
To those saying “there’s more than salary” - that’s a privileged take. I hate to use that word but it’s appropriate here. Salary ONLY MEANS being able to put a roof over your family’s head and feed them.
- schwartzworld 3y agoThere _is_ more than salary, but most of it would be classified as "nice-to-haves". Would I take an offer that wasn't the highest one I got if I thought the WLB or culture was better? Probably, but there's a limit. $10k less for a better WLB, sure. $50k less? Probably not.

- schwartzworld 3y agoIt's not the worst idea. I build web UIs, I don't really care what product they support as long as it's not explicitly harming anyone. But it's also missing the point. I apply for the jobs I want, I just don't want to apply for the ones that make below my bottom line.
