I had an Idiot Indian recruiter bothering me today about a job in somewhere, New Jersey. While I have no desire to move there, I looked over the job. It's a very senior level tech, pretty much an engineer position. Lots of self-directed engineering duties and skills required.

Decided to ask about the pay rate, just 'cause. Idiot goes it's 50k a year.

While that's a good wage for the Middle Of Ohio (not for this type of work, however,) that's a shit-tier wage for this location in New Jersey, it's roughly double to cost of living from my current location, and the calculator I used doesn't take into account taxes and other incidental costs. I told the idiot this, and even sent him the link to the calculator I used, pre-filled with locations. No reply of course.

I'm sure the company in question will cry about not being able to find someone for what's essentially $12.50 an hour here in my location for a position where you're going to need at least 10+ years of experience in the field. Even at the rate they're offering, it's not equal to the skills and duties they listed.

(He replied moments after I wrote this with the same boilerplate garbage. )

Hi experienced engineer would you like to work for the same wage as a Ross employee? You only need 15 years of experience a doctorate in math and physics. Meanwhile my cousin Ramjul will take credit for all your work. He will use his promotion to hire his 12 cousins to other managerial roles. Then we will use you as a scapegoat when our incompetence comes to light.
