Unpopular opinion: tech workers aren’t overpaid at all. Ours is just one of the few fields whose salaries have managed to somewhat keep pace with the insane cost of living. The real issue is that most everyone else is *severely* UNDERpaid
Why do I say this? Back in the day you could own a whole house & support a family with at LEAST two kids comfortably on the income from *one* factory job. Now people struggle support even their own selves. Most workers should be making twice as much to keep pace w/ cost of living
@nhuntwalker What’s one of the other fields that have kept pace?
@nhuntwalker Everyone is paid based on two things: the value of the skills they posses and have developed, and how hard they are willing look for and apply these skills to a job. Don't think you are paid enough, upgrade your skill set, look for another job, or just work for yourself.
