What’s Trump got to do with tech jobs being the cushiest and most overpaid for 4 years running?

Says who, you?

Its called supply and demand.

And the jobs they do provide value to the business owners employing them.

If anything, they are undervalued, given the on-going pressure to salaries provided by the same business owners via the H1-B program.

We’re not undervalued. There’s still this concept around the industry that this stuff is hard and very few people can do it. Even though the industry is huge and the sheer number of people in it shows lots of folks can do it. As such we get crazy perks that no other industry comes close to, they’re all desperate to keep the mad geniuses happy even though most of us aren’t mad and even fewer are geniuses.
