    I’m a senior software engineer with 6 years of experience in React & node.js. I have built products that are used by millions and have generated $billions in revenue. I’ve worked at successful startups. But you won’t hire me because I can’t solve an algorithm challenge. lol.

    afaict most big tech companies are suffering significant attrition right now and the market is wild. it seems like now more than ever it would make sense to adjust existing employee salaries to new hire/market rate to keep your knowledgable and tenured employees happy and around.

    I am 32. I’ve been working since I was 14. That’s 18 years. Retirement age in the US is 67. There is NO WAY I can do this for another 35 years.
