I can't blame Millennials on their loyalty...They watched their father's

Yep, better people from a different demographic

Unnecessary unless you yourself are incapable of hiring good people.

Loyalty? To a company? Are you serious?

Yes - very important. It's one of the basic blocks of human decency.

Problem is you are interviewing UVU grads.

If I apply for any jobs in the Bay Area, I always ask 6 figures.

You are considered low income at a household income of $105K in the City of SF

bayareacoug

7/21/17 10:58pm

Yep. Hence the reason why I'd request a bare minimum of $150k.

Beware, the state department has been sending millennials undercover

'Entry level' is a catch phrase employers use to con workers into less pay

It's still a common term used by non-web-devs. I hear it all the time.

Hmmm. Putting HTML on a resume would make me less likely to look at you.
