It’s easy to focus only on your base salary when deciding on a job offer, but remember your base salary isn’t the only thing that matters.

A big part of the reason that companies are going ga-ga over AI right now is the promise that it might materially lower their payroll for programmers. If a company currently needs 10 programmers to do a job, each have a cost of $200,000/year, then that's a $2m/year problem. If AI could even cut off 1/4 of that, they would have saved half a million! Cut double that, and it's a million.
