Hence "offer more money" If you make $80k/year in a stable job, but a company could be reasonably expected you'll crash and burn in 6 months maybe that company

Hence "offer more money"
If you make $80k/year in a stable job, but a company could be reasonably expected you'll crash and burn in 6 months maybe that company will have to offer $120k to account for the 3 months the dev is looking for work after you crash unexpectedly.
It might not be your cup of tea to take jobs like that, that's fine someone will. And if you don't find anyone at 120k maybe it needs to be 130, or 140 to make up for that mean time to failure.
- IAmARealDev 13y agoYour numbers are off for major markets. The startups offering market (6 figure) salaries for experienced engineers aren't looking for the developers who are making $80,000 today. They want to hire the engineers who are already making a comparable salary. They can't afford them, and most of the time the non-financial value propositions aren't that compelling either.
