Thats a very broad statement that is only true for some software engineers

Which kind of software engineers have trouble finding high paying jobs relatively to where they live?

[–] jarfil 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Disabled and/or burnt out ones.

This applies to any profession, so back to my initial point.

I guess I'm missing where you made your initial point of "this applies to any profession". Could you please restate your point?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm talking about the condition of software engineers, and being disabled/burnt out applies to any profession, so it's not a valid argument to counter my point that software engineers can get high paying jobs and can choose where they want to work.

You're trying to tell me that Meta devs can't find a job anywhere else? Give me a break. It's hilarious how this thread touched such a nerve.
