The truth is these companies want Stanford, Oxbridge, MIT engineers for minimum wage or close to free. But of course, no-one that will work to be exploited for their below low-ball offers.
Thus, they scream for the bullshit "skills shortage" delusion. The ones that continue to do this are almost certainly joke companies that can't afford market rate.
- thmsths 1y agoThe hypocrisy in these situations is what I find annoying. Try to apply that in a different context "I can't find a Ferrari for the price of Ford, we have a Ferrari shortage!" and people would think you're a lunatic. But if you wrap that in "concerns about the economy" somehow, people take it seriously.
