Oh the guffaws we have when a “talent sourcer” at a company tells you that a software developer that can write assembly language and program FPGAs is not worth as much as a JavaScript programmer because the low-level developer is using “simpler” technologies and therefore only “worth” $55 an hour.
And if you cannot understand why people don’t want to quit their stable job and come and work for you for a less than 2% bump in salary, you’re borderline delusional.
Bonus points for then going on to tell me that it is impossible to hire in this market but caught yourself just shy of saying “and nobody wants to work anymore.”
