Oh come on. Anyone talented doesn't have to beg for anything, and certainly not a role at a falling company.
- tekla 3y agoAh yes, the HN bubble. The role at these companies are hell to get into, its not a 3 month bootcamp role. Web Dev being hilariously easy to get into was a function of free money.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoWoooooooooosh. I wasn't saying a web dev could. Context is key.
- tekla 3y ago"Woooooooooosh" Still not responding to the argument.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoOh, I did. "Context is key".
- tekla 3y agoOk, "Context is key".
- alephnerd 3y agoFor most of the 2000s and 2010s, salaries were fairly low in the automotive and aerospace industry compared to software or pure hardware, so Tesla and SpaceX absolutely paid miles above competitors, but that's changing in the 2020s now that there's more money in both spaces.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoThe comment I was replying to wasn't talking about the past.
- alephnerd 3y agoThe salary dynamics for those industries changed only recently (last 2-3 years).
