w/seth alexander & the state of candidates in a remote culture
guest: seth alexander, software engineer at evidence care
- expect recruiter outreach to come through every channel, even emails not listed on your public profiles or linkedin
- set a personal filter for how much more pay would justify the risk of switching jobs before engaging with offers
- ask about compensation even when happy in your role so you know your market value for future raises or promotions
- location based pay is shifting as companies pay for the value an engineer provides, not where they live
- share market outreach data with your leadership so the company stays aware of retention risk and can respond with transparency
