i mean the low paying jobs he refers to only pay like 100k, if your paying sr engineers and leads 100-150k you are being cheap when you consider how much value we provide.
if you think engineers only provide maybe 200k dollars of value then sure pay 100k but i find that hard to believe
- glimshe 3y agoAlso have in mind that there are "Seniors" and "Seniors". 200K is a normal salary for a true Senior in a company that is either tech-focused or very reliant on tech. Companies outside the tech hubs, or companies where custom tech only provides incremental value to their business, will certainly pay less, and salaries closer to 100K are actually not that uncommon. They often don't even have the ability to accurately evaluate the skill set of a Senior Software Engineer. So what you call Senior and what they call Senior isn't the same thing. I'm not saying that you should accept 100K, simply that the market is very diverse and we are past the excesses of the past.
