You get what you pay for. Unfortunately a lot of employers think they can low-ball tech salaries due to the economy. While they may get someone good initially, that person will be gone as soon as the economy picks up and they get a better offer. In the end, it is going to cost them a lot more in turnover and training costs than they are “saving” by low-balling the salary.
