Is anyone offering 8 extra hours for a 20% raise? I don't know if software salaries in the US have gotten so high that people will happily take these pay cuts, or whether those people are a small vocal minority, or just people in a later stage in life that have different priorities, but as a late 20s person outside of the US, the last thing on my mind is how to convince my employer to give me a 20% pay cut.
