You’d think that. But a few weeks ago I interviewed a full stack dev working for IBM who was making $110k with 8+ years experience.

I was a bit floored. I know IBM isn’t FAANG, but I was expecting them to be making a lot more based on their resume and working at a big co.

The issue is that they worked there for 8 years. You have to be an aggressive job hopper . Salary compression and inversion are real.
