The number of two-years-of-experience engineers with middling React skills who are demanding a six figure salary, plus additional comp, continues to astound me.

I stopped making reasonable offers to them. It was always a waste of time. We just move on now.

- etchalon 3y agoWe haven't had a problem hiring talented people yet. If we had, that would indicate their price was reasonable and that we needed to change our salary ranges.
- zapataband1 3y agoWell if the market ever bounces back I think people will be a lot less loyal about leaving places with subpar salaries esp after all the layoffs
- etchalon 3y agoMy experience has been that salary alone isn't much of a determinate for employee loyalty for the vast majority of people. If the only reason someone worked for me was because I was willing to pay them the most, I think I'd re-think my entire company culture.
- moregrist 3y agoBeing paid tip-dollar isn’t the biggest motivating factor for most people. Feeling like you’re undervalued or being taken advantage of? That’s a huge factor in someone leaving. Being paid substantially under market? I would feel both undervalued and taken advantage of.
