    You’re actually getting applicants at 80k? That’s nuts. Last I checked fresh outs were clearing 100k.

      Despite incessant reassurance from recruiting that they have the best market data and we’re paying above average, I have reasons to suspect that’s not the truth. One of them being we’re hemorrhaging mid-grade talent and focusing on hiring backfills in Ireland and Hungary for much lower salaries. It almost seems like they’re trying to offshore the dev group via attrition to work around having to do layoffs…

        Every HR department ever says that exact same thing. Even while the company is burning down and past bankruptcy.

        Edit: For example, the fortune 50 I worked for insisted the same thing. Even when faced with industry data…they’d insist the Glassdoor and Indeed numbers were fake.

        I left and got a 90% raise. That’s not a joke number.
