The market is what the market is. While it may not be "socially equitable", senior developers are currently the perfect combination of high-demand and low-supply.
It is not "entitled" to demand to be paid the maximum value the market will bear for your skills. It is stupid to do otherwise.
- nilkn 14y agoI never said it was entitled to want to be paid the market value. Entitlement is a personality trait, not an aspect of rationality or reasoning.
- etchalon 14y agoYou basically (literally) said exactly that. "Entitlement" is not a personality trait, "acting entitled" is, and even then it's only a negative if you aren't entitled to whatever you're "acting entitled" about. "Entitlement" is literally nothing more than having the "right to something." And as a human, you are absolutely entitled to being paid exactly what you are worth.
- nilkn 14y ago> you are absolutely entitled to being paid exactly what you are worth. Sure, whatever. But what you're not entitled to is being worth something in the first place. If you can't recognize your own fortune in enjoying and being passionate about something which, as a side effect, makes you valuable to companies, I don't really see this discussion going anywhere from here.
- etchalon 14y agoI do not understand what you're saying anymore, as it makes no sense.
- nilkn 14y agoI know you don't. That's why I already wrote that this discussion isn't going anywhere.
