>“An American company was offering him $15,000 per month to work for them,” Campos told Rest of World. “We cannot compete with that.”

Wow, that's crazy. As a (senior?) software engineer based in Chile who was recently hired by an American company for around $3.5k/mo (that was my offer) I am now feeling underpaid. :)

Assuming that this information is correct, I am now wondering how much I could get away with next time around...

>He claimed he was just pretending to be racist to trigger the social justice warriors, but even if he is telling the truth, Popehat's Law of Goats still applies.

OP was talking about "pronouns" people and you immediately assumed he was racist.

We might want to be more careful when using labels unless we want those labels to lose their meaning.

>we were part of the cost cutting measures. >the event that lead to my eyes being opened to the world of Silicon Valley tech companies

I found that being aware of whether you will be part of the cost center or profit center in a company is very useful when deciding where you should work.

>I, a computer programmer who has more than enough intelligence >Stop blaming/shaming wives.

It seems like it is you who is equating tech illiteracy with intelligence, pal. There is nothing wrong with being technically illiterate (most people are) and I don't think GP is shaming his wife because of it.

It is the only social network that I find worth engaging with and by that I mean just create your profile and fill in some of your data so recruiters have an idea of what you can do. You don't NEED it to get hired but it sure has helped me find new jobs more than once.

The recruiter will either dismiss the whole email and not care at all or even if they did care and agreed with you they wouldn't be able to do much about it anyways.

Also, this person seems to be more interested in political and ideological activism than actually working there. Maybe they should just do that instead?
