Y’all Software engineers went out to become programmers and made upwards of 300k a year as entry level job. Now you have a tough time like the rest of the working population? What 70k a year not good enough anymore? Get fucked.
Lmao the vast majority of us never come close to 300k much less start off there. Some of you are totally delusional about tech salaries and believe everything you read.
I feel you, but most of us don’t work for silicon valley, in most countries the salaries are average to slightly above average, and being fired or forced to work with tools you don’t want sucks, which is also a workers issue
Even in the US I started at 65k which was normal back in the early 2010s for a junior dev. I didn’t reach 6 figures until I’d been in the industry for 5 or 6 years, after changing jobs and then getting promoted. It’s not that different from other stem jobs.
It’s a good job and I can’t complain much, but the Ivy League brats who bragged about their ridiculous starting salaries created a false impression of the industry. They were always a tiny minority and they’re basically non-existent now.

Something like 1% of devs make that much. A lot make your 70k.
Worker solidarity is about lifting people up, not pushing everyone down.

+1 for a nuanced take. My America-as-default bias is strong and you rightfully call me out on that.
I also notice this isn’t the shitposting sub… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
