Maybe stop hiring 19 year olds who just did a "become a Web developer in 6 weeks" bootcamp to code your core security features then. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Claiming $120k is a shit salary is really entitled, it’s among the top 20% of engineers in France and top 7% of an entire country. For Java and React. Glad I don’t have him among my employees.
Perhaps better not to post a US$ denominated salary for a non-US location?
