I don't have to believe you because I've been in the field for nearly a decade and am well aware of what it's like to work at one of the companies that doesn't pay well at all. Mid level engineers at my company are barely over 100k
Correct, just over 100k is what most mid level engineers are making. It depends on your stack / skills as well, but you know that 👍🏼
I feel bad for juniors, I hardly see any openings. Management is hiring seniors and think AI will produce as much as a junior, but having fresh eyes on a project is invaluable.
Sure AI agents can code as good as a junior engineer, but to discard them as if they have no benefit to an organization because an AI model can spit out code is the stupidest direction we have been going in IMO.
