      The bigger joke here is the salary. ₹8000 (rounded to floor) INR per month. That’s like $100 per month. Absolutely pathetic. And why do I know it is months? Because I’m pretty sure Amazon India pays ₹80,000 per month for their internship, which is about ₹10LPA.

          I talked to a business leader yesterday who said that their outsourced overseas developers were not performing well, so they were planning to directly contract some overseas developers, because then they would be “captive”. And he proceed to refer to them as “captive developers” for the rest of the conversation.

          Sir, you should not refer to people who work for you as “captive”. That has a very negative connotation, and I’m shocked you don’t hear it. Please at least notice everyone else’s reaction when you say it.

    My corporate overlords would happily pay this middleman 9k USD/mo per intern just to avoid adding anyone to our dental plan.

    Yes, my company does remain profitable despite the best efforts of upper management to force out the good developers and replace everyone with contractors.

    Something really fucky with developer salaries recently. Im seeing London-based office jobs (We’ve got you surrounded! Come eat fruit snacks in our trendy office space!) offer £25k salaries which is like half the wage necessary to afford working there lmao

    I feel like programming would benefit from apprenticeships. But AI is a thing now
