Is that strictly true? I mean it makes sense that the average fast food worker (who must be present) makes less than a software engineer (who may not need to be present), but does that translate across the whole job market?
While remuneration might be similar, there is a lot of red tape and working people willing to put up with bureaucracy are generally not as passionate and therefore try and palm off work or engage in politics.
I agree in principle that 100% in office roles are a red flag and not worth the hassle.
Our pay across the board is dogshit though, and we're bleeding devs but the company won't let management pay what's needed to retain people.
On that note, if anyone's looking for a senior/staff full stack swe with 5 years of react plus a whole bunch of other stuff, let me know. Please.
