Russophobic and proud of it.

I call for the death of all supporters of russia, the deportation of all russian citizens and the liberation of all russian assets domestic or abroad.

doubtingtom··on Tech salaries continue to increase as firms search for talent
$160k was fine as a single guy with a severed vas deferens living illegally in punk warehouses in Hunter’s Point and East Oakland for sure.

I couldn’t imagine being a nuclear family on one income, or two if both aren’t in the six figure range.

I call bs. I’ve been receiving the same $140k-$160k salary ranges from recruiter emails for senior devops engineers/sysadmins for 20 years.

They have literally never changed, I could show you at least 5,000 emails and linkedin messages with these ranges.

If you dont worn at FAANG or a company in that range, then your salary has not even kept up with inflation in 20 years.

Talked to a recruiter yesterday who said “we have a generous package, we can pay up to $160k and give you 12 days of vacation, 15 days after 3 years”. In San Francisco no less.

FAANG salaries out outliers and we do a lot of harm by claiming that all techies are making $300k+

If you arent good enough for FAANG, texh is a dead end career. I know Assembly line workers who dropped out of high school and make as much as I do With my wasted 6 years in uni.
