No one really gets those (statistically). I never did, despite being great at what I do. Basically a lottery system where the one lucky person who did the same exact problem two days ago wins.
- speakfreely 3y agoI've found it's really about your negotiation and your confidence to ask for it. I've hired software engineers and frequently talk with others who do hiring, and I can confirm there's plenty of people who are making $120-140k who could've come in at $160-180k+ just by asking for it.
