On that subject, when it pertains to software, I find it really odd that folks in the industry consider location as a factor in salary negotiation. Why should a developer in WV earn less than a comparable developer in CA? It’s not like the

I don’t and I tell them I don’t want to talk about this stuff. I don’t see any value in my friends and family knowing I make more or less than they do. My friends work at Big Tech and are probably earning more (especially with stock), my fa

Do you get a Josh Mitteldorf scienceblog result for the search (no quotes): weight and aging a paradox part 1 It’s the first result for me with or without quotes. I’m curious if the site is somehow blocked.
