This market is brutal

    The only question left is will it ever improve. Right now, I say no. They've offshored, outsourced, or automated everything until jobs in America will cease to exist. I saw an ad for $65k software developers in Latin America. How can we compete with that with 2 and 3 thousand dollar rents

    My prediction is that AI will actually bring more engineering during jobs back to the US. There’s no need for cheaper labor abroad when you can have really elite engineers here with AI do much more.

    Definitely one of the toughest job markets I’ve ever seen in a long time. I’m glad that I’m not graduating from college right now from what I’ve heard from friends with kids in college - they haven’t been able to find anything at all.

    So true.

Is $95k enough to comfortably survive as a mid-level QA Engineer in Chicago, or am I going to be roommate-dependent forever? I’m trying to transition out of a fully remote role into a hybrid one, and this is the first solid offer I've landed in months. What does a realistic mid-level budget look like in Chicago right now?

Family currently not up for relocation due but we’re open to me commuting for those 3 days a week which means flying to the office M-W and home th-Sunday. Anyone else do this? OpenAI Anthropic AI

I negotiated a completely remote contract last year, and now HR is trying to claim that submitting expenses for home office internet requires a salary adjustment. They want me to forfeit a small portion of my monthly allowance to cover the administrative cost of tracking remote stipends. At what point do minor benefit rollbacks become the hill you are willing to die on?

How much of a comp increase would you need to move from a great leader? I’m looking at an internal role and the role and comp are great, the leader is good but definitely not on par with my current leader. I don’t want to make a mistake and end up miserable.
