Are techies really 57% more likely to apply for a job if they know the salary?

not me.

What i care about is where the office is located, whether there is anything to do in the area around the office, what technologies i will work with and whether i regard the company as ethical.

I once worked for a former white panther at half the salary i could have commanded anywhere ele.

Your rationale is certainly a strong one - salary is but only one consideration in the end.

What was your experience with the former white panther like?

he ran the company into the ground but we all had a great time while he did so.

that was the best place i ever worked. the problem was that dave really didnt want to be in the software industry anymore.

nowadays, jimmy carter reads his political blog.

Enjoying it at the end of the day is the key thing, on a personal level and as a team. Shame it ended, but seems an understandable reason.

Now, having an ex-POTUS reading their is one helluva bragging right for him!
