Signs that a startup is focused on stuff that doesn’t matter

I'm not privy to what my employer is advertising for senior DevOps positions, but I can tell you it's not nearly enough: I get resumes where "installed htop" is a prominent bullet point. Literally.

The last two hires have been somewhere between oxygen thief and chair warmer.

TL;DR: If you are getting crappy candidates, you are likely offering too little and could tempt better candidates with a better offer.

I've looked into the market for Sr. DevOps positions lately and unfortunately found exactly that to be the case. No one is willing to offer enough to lure me away from my current gig, where I'm reasonably happy. The employers that don't immediately scoff at the proposed salary tend to give me grief about it, which makes it not worth the time.

What do you think is a reasonable salary for Senior DevOps engineers these days?

Use glassdoor my friend, the salaries vary a lot by location and company.

You should checkout what competitors are paying in your location
