I have six open positions for c# developers and application architects. It is a real challenge finding talent these days For the wages being offered.

Fixed. Pay more you will get people.

Oh, we pay well - plus bonus and RSUs. But you need to find people who are worth the salaries they are commanding. Many of them aren’t worth the amount they want.

It comes back to a minimum wage type argument: is McDonalds going to pay $20/hr for help, or will they turn to other solutions over the long haul?

In my world, that other solution is called the “offshore contractor.”

Salaries are skewed. Demands are high. I’ve got guys coming to me with 3 years experience and no effing clue asking for $120k! Good lord. Of course I’m not going to pay that.

Not really, the money being throw at high level programmers right now is crazy. There are folks in CA writing code most of the day making over 250K a year right now.
