> if you’re looking for a stable living wage, you’re a fool — especially in tech
I don’t understand what you are saying. I have this condition called “living”. If i am exposed to the elements for prolonged time I get cold, then sick, then I stop living. Likewise i need to eat regularly otherwise i will also stop living. In the current system we live in one meets these things by paying for them. They don’t accept IOUs, or not for long anyway.
These are non-negotiable minimums I need to fulfill. Even if someone offered me a deal where they pay me a huge sum after years of hard work, and this would be a certainty but nothing before, i could not accept it because i would have no means to sustain myself for the duration.
This is what bruce511 describes when they write “They want a proper salary, every month, not some mythical payday in the future.”
If a place offers me both a huge payday in the future and enough money in the meantime to stay alive I may accept that depending on the amounts in question and the probabilities as i see them.
This is what bruce511 talks about with “ If you can find a place that does both, thats fantastic.”
> most logical and rational path is to make as much money as quickly as possible, and enter the capital class.
Sounds good! I will surely do that once i can. Until then I will need that paycheck thank you very much. And call me a fool.
