I think they're generalizing beyond software engineers with what they're saying. G&A, Marketing, etc roles pay significantly less than software engineers and that $55-75k figure is realistic in lower cost of living areas. Even in Colorado, which the Denver Metro Area is HCOL, there are companies (smaller, regional, not national/global) still offering that level of salary.
- davkan 2mo agoYeah that would make more sense. Though it seems to me AI is currently better at reducing dev headcount than most other roles.
- thewebguyd 2mo agoYeah, correct, I wasn't thinking of devs specifically, more other office/administrative roles threatened by automation. Even where I live in a relatively HCOL area, any non-dev office role you can still expect to see a$65-$80k salary range, and $80k is pushing toward the top end for non tech roles.
- Spartan-S63 2mo agoDepending on industry and public versus private here, that $80k+ barrier for non-tech is mostly management positions.
