Am I completely out of touch with the 2026 market? I was just offered $115k for a Lead Data Engineer role in Boston. The recruiter talked up the incredible culture and the free commuter rail pass like it makes up for a base salary that is easily $40k below the local median for a lead. They’re requiring three days a week in the office, meaning I’d actually be paying a premium just to sit in their cubicle.

1. it is a bad job market for workers.
2. You may have been downleveled.
3. You may have applied to a company that simply doesn't pay well. Not everyone pays as well as faang or some other top employers.

The bad job market weights a lot. Point three is probably also valid.
