are you sure about that? i'm a software engineer and i feel like i'm on the wining side now, even more than before. I'm considering quitting my 500K a year job to go compete against the employers. they seem like dinosaurs to me.
- forcedtolinux 4mo agoyou personally are winning, but 500k comp is an outlier and not the norm, especially now
- abletonlive 4mo agoYou don't understand what I'm saying. I'm saying the 500K comp is not worth it and i want to quit to go compete against all the employers that are offering such comp. I am positioning myself to do it this year. Software engineers have more leverage than ever.

- throwaway63467 4mo agoWell congrats man you might belong to the 1 % then
- goatlover 4mo agoEven if so, should you want that to be how society is organized going forward? Because I think the evidence is societies are worse off when there is too much economic disparity, even if you personally benefit. And the greater the disparity, the more likely for there to be serious unrest in the future.
