Pet theory: real wages in tech have dropped since pandemic levels, so for the first time in years staying in your job (provided you got it a few years ago) is better financially than switching. The sector was pretty accustomed to constant churn, so this sticking with it is pretty unusual.
- nekoashide 3y agoI'm seeing old co-workers on linkedin that got caught up in this, they switched during the pandemic, some to positions and salaries I assume were inflated from knowing them previously. Once the layoffs hit they started looking for jobs with the same title/salary and there's was nothing. I'm one of those who didn't switch, I thought I was making a mistake, now? New hires are coming in and being offered a little more than pre-pandemic pay. Below what I'm making now for the same position.
