I'm sure your dad's experience warrants a premium over others but anybody asking 5x what other devs make are going to have difficulty finding a job unless they have exceptional reputation, contacts and some luck.
- luisivan 12y agoWell, the thing is not that he wants a premium salary, he actually is below market price, the problem is that there is too many people willing to work almost for free
- smithkl42 12y agoUnfortunately, if lots of people are willing to work almost for free, then that's the market price. Sucks, though.
- BenoitEssiambre 12y agoIf there is a significant supply of people willing to work almost for free then market price is almost free. This would also mean that the problem is not specific to his age but to the whole market for devs in your area.
- ivanche 12y agoYou have to consider that in some countries devs with no experience are willing to work for $300-400 a month...
- FranOntanaya 12y agoIn practice, you can get five young devs in Spain for any arbitrary number you may suggest. Many of them are still landlocked due to lower English proficiency and lack of valuable experience.
