More Than 60% of Tech Workers Feel They're Underpaid (cnbc.com)

gollum123 writes: Tech workers are the envy of labor market -- they earn some of the highest starting salaries and often command top-notch benefits. But money doesn't always buy satisfaction. Entrepreneur reports that tech workers in major American cities earn an average of $135,000 and yet, a survey of 6,000 tech workers conducted by workplace app Blind and reported by Quartz found that over 60 percent feel they aren't being paid enough. The survey also breaks down how tech workers feel about their pay by company. The five tech companies with the highest percentage of employees who felt they were underpaid shared one important characteristic: They were all founded before 1998. Cisco, Intel, Expedia, VMware and Microsoft employees were the most likely to say that they did not make enough money. Cisco had the highest percentage of dissatisfied employees, with 80 percent telling Blind that they did not feel adequately compensated. Facebook employees, on the other hand, were the most like to say that they are overpaid, with 13.8 percent saying that they felt their employer was overly generous.

Facebook IS overpaid.

FB has a shit PC interface. With the ton of code their pages use, why can't I click on an article (or even on a different post from the "reply" notification that pops up) that takes me off my feed, then click "back" and return to the spot in my feed where I was? Nope, it starts all the way at the top again, and I have to dig down a dozen or more pages to find where I left off. Usually I try to open another tab for that, but sometimes you just forget.
