CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte]When companies give a salary range, they typically use the higher number as bait…they’ll try and start you off at the lower number (which isn’t too shabby, granted).[/quote]
Probably won’t work in this market.
Last month, employers posted more than 365,000 job openings for IT workers, the highest monthly total since September 2019, according to IT trade group CompTIA. The positions highest in demand include software developers, IT support specialists, systems engineers and architects.The demand has been attributed to all sorts of things. During the pandemic, businesses that had been slow to adopt enterprise software began rapidly catching up. A tidal wave of productivity software, conferencing and collaboration tools, and e-commerce tech flooded the world. The same was true for consumer tech, with video game development, entertainment tech and social platforms booming.
Interesting also that:

I have 1 floater position left either android or ios. Hiring was suppose to complete end of February. It’s middle of July….We basically gave a comp package halfway between the San Diego and Bay Area to the person here in San Diego, and the high side of what would be a normal SD comp package to people that will be remote out of Sacramento, Texas , and Tennessee

your potential loss opportunity, just like every other lost opportunity for being a perma skeptic.
There’s the asshole! Way to go FLU. I was simply questioning what you’d posted and you went all ad-hominem.
Josh[/quote]Dude, I was referring generally to people who don’t want to believe, that’s fine. If people want to be skeptic or be a perma skeptic on everything, that’s fine too. There could be lost opportunity, there might not be. One will never know… Same could be said for all the doubters for crypto, inclusive.
Didn’t mean to strike a nerve and for you to take it personally…

Back in 2005/6 when I first started looking for places to talk to people about what I perceived to be a bubble it was the first thing I saw. I tried to talk to people intelligently but because I used sdrealtor as my username all they did was attack me and discredit what I was trying to say. Back then they saw what was obvious to everyone but when I tried to get down into the weeds with them about different markets they were doom and gloomers who expected to buy oceanfront homes for $250K at the bottom. I realized it was pointless and went looking again. Thats when i first found this place[/quote]
Oh yeah, now I remember… $250k 4/4 del mar houses… ha ha ha
CoronitaParticipantwho is Dr Housing Bubble?
CoronitaParticipantwell, according to the recruiters some people who were formerly in management decided to go back to being pure technical for this company because the pay and stock comp this company was offering was way above what some directors make down here. Basically, when the recruiter contacted me, she asked if i was interested in a senior engineer position..I thought again this was one of those bottom fishing recruiters that were not even bothering to read peoples profile, so i replied basically telling her to please read my profile, as i would only consider position at or above my roles and responsibilities and comps…Thats when she responded and gave me what numbers her senior android engineers were seeing. I checked out the company, its legit… FinTech startup in SF. i just left the company name off of this post out of consideration for them. But anyone interested, im happy to DM people the recruiters contact.
i thought about this because it did cross my mind. Easier job, comparable comp package for lower position than my current position, probably could ask for more if i really was the right candidate…but then again i swore i would never take a demotion even if the comp was better. You dont have to believe it if you dont want to…your potential loss opportunity, just like every other lost opportunity for being a perma skeptic.
Some peoplee dont mind a 2% COLA raise based on old SD wages. I guess thats how some companies down here can still get away with it….probably not a company that has a material footprint in mobile software though..

Next thing is they’ll try to start teaching about climate change.
What an encroachment on my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or whatever amendment rights.

BINGO!!!
CoronitaParticipantSo one thing that is interesting is.
Let’s say someone here in san diego works remotely and gets the offer for $225k versus say a $135k pay for doing something equivalently paid here in san diego. How does this difference really make.
Well forget about the stock grants and health, etc benefits for comparison….
With 401k match, that’s 5% of the annual salary. So for the bay area remote job, that’s $236.25k/year.
For the san diego local wage company, with a 5% match, that’s $136.5k/yearThats roughly 1.73:1 ….
Working at the bay area remote job for 6 years is equivalent to working at the san diego job for 10.4 years. You’re basically shaving 4 1/2 years off working for someone to achieve the same financial state as someone that puts in 10.4 years.
You’re a lot less likely to get laidoff within 6 years of an high tech job versus being around the block for 10+ years…And even if you get laidoff at the 6 years mark, you still have a 4 year advantage to figure out what next to do versus the locally SD paid person.
Of course this doesn’t consider the different tax rate of say someone grossing $236k versus $130k, and so that does make a difference too.
But at the flip side to this is, if you’re earning $236k here versus $130k, you’re also in a much better position to obtain home ownership a lot earlier, and capping your living expenses earlier…

Dumb question? Why?
Edit. Never mind..I googled it…Ah that’s why when I dropped a butane torch on a nylon pants by accident it burned the way it burned…..Doh….
CoronitaParticipantthis is why you don’t piss off your mobile engineers these days otherwise it’s going to cost you a lot
CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=EconProf]
The population is exploding as new residents come in from everywhere, especially CA. Because St. George schools are largely open, teachers tell of CA parents desperate to get their kids into in-person learning, so some are living in St. George motels in order to do so.

“The exodus of Californians forecast in recent news headlines isn’t likely to happen soon, UC San Diego researchers reported in a survey released Wednesday.”
“Another facet of the study, conducted by Stanford and Cornell Universities, analyzed two decades of Franchise Tax Board Data and found no evidence that millionaires are fleeing the state, despite increased taxes on high-wage earners.
A separate analysis from Cornell University gave a different spin to the parable of the Golden State. It showed that California’s share of U.S. venture capital dollars rose from one-third of the national total in 1995 to nearly half by 2021, far eclipsing other large states, including New York, Florida and Texas.”[/quote]
Low wage workers leaving. High net worth coming in…
B10….
BINGO!

Didn’t the previous admin intentionally try to undercount the people in this state by excluding undocumented people?
