People having been claiming the death of high salaries for years. My employer (FAANG-like) is willing to hire across 3 hour time zones, we have 20+ headcount to fill, and still can't find people fast enough.
Fact is, good engineers that can scale reliable systems, build product, work with other teams, mentor junior engineers, etc. are still damn hard to find.
Wow. Another HN post for nerds to self-diagnose their inability to function normally in everyday life. I remember this site used to be about entrepreneurship and founders helping each other bootstrap their startups. The Eternal September continues.
