I'm curious. Do any of you have direct experience, either from the inside or because you actually followed through, with ultra low ball contracts? AMD seems to be the king these days. I had a recruiter ping me today about an AMD design role. The maximum rate hasn't been competitive for more than twenty years. I speculate that this is either fishing for what the market will accept or disingenuous due diligence to add or keep an H1. But does anyone have a case where they actually *know*?

Would you rather? Work fully remote for £10k less....or.... commute three days a week for £10k more. I keep trying to calculate the true value of flexibility and I still cannot decide.

Hey everyone, I just graduated and got an offer for $64k as a Civil Engineer in an HCOL metro area. Is this standard for entry-level civil, or am I getting lowballed? My roommate just pulled a $95k starting offer in cybersecurity, and it’s kind of making me question my career choice. I'm interested in hearing what others started at.

How do people feel about remote work? I am about to take about 5% pay cut to take a 90% remote job vs an in-office 80% job. The flexibility and saving 2 hours a day is worth it.

I'm tired, depressed and exhausted from the continuous search for Junior job position. Parents are getting old and I feel like I'm dragging them down instead of supporting them. For the past year I have been looking for a job but met with either rejection or ghosting. I get freelancing jobs once in a while but they are not enough to pay the bills. So, if there is anyone that can help me get a job please don't hesitate. I'm in a dire situation right now.
