My company is quietly outsourcing its entire data science department to Eastern Europe, and the wage disparity is frankly terrifying. They are hiring brilliant, PhD-level ML engineers in Poland for roughly €45k a year to replace a US team that cost $180k per head. The quality of output hasn't dropped a single bit. How are we in the US supposed to maintain premium pricing when global talent is this good?

It's hard to win in price with US employees but there are other places of value.

Right - 1/4th the price with no drop in output quality? I've heard this line before about certain sub-continents 😂😂😂 Just wait.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex.
