Part of the problem is that tech salaries jumped enormously in 2021/early 2022. Settling back to something more reasonable is now a pay cut.

  Something reasonable needs to factor in the waves of inflation that have also occurred. TC was definitely over inflation at one point but in many places I suspect people are operating at a pay cut still. The never ending war on labor rates continues.

    > needs to factor in the waves of inflation Yes, I would like that to be true, but inflation historically can and does happen independently of wage growth.

      that's called "making you poorer" and is not something to defend or rationalize

        Certainly. Inflation is terrible and yet rationalized at every turn by economists.
