Dolash posted:So after catching up with this thread, as a computer science graduate student moving to the West Coast, how unbearable should I expect to become? Is there any way to avoid being sucked into this self-absorbed technocracy bubble of corporate power worship, or will my very presence cause the area around me to gentrify? Posting on these forums will solve any delusions of grandeur.

There's pretty wide variance in cost of living across the country though, so $100k might mean a very, very comfortable existence in some places and a firmly middle class one in areas with higher costs of living (e.g., NYC).

down with slavery posted:Because the pool of labor that can fill the positions that we have is shrinking, not growing. As are the wages. "the decreasing salary to revenue generated ratio for knowledge workers" is irrelevant when you look at the big picture. I'm sure (possible?) visa reform and the increasing numbers of CS graduates from universities will not affect the tech labor pool in the slightest.
