- US companies are less likely to offer 15K/month, whereas before it wasn't uncommon

- Local Latam companies are having an easier time retaining talent

- Devs in Latam have lowered their salary expectations and often are putting regular salary increases on pause

- There's less job hopping between firms now

How common are/were 15K/month salaries in Latam? That's a good money (180K/year) even by US standards, not mentioning other parts of the world.

In the last 4 years of operations in Latam we saw it a handful of times, all during the last 1.5 years of the Covid hiring mania. Mostly by big companies.

What’s telling is that we haven’t seen those offers since.

In fact we’ve seen rates negotiated down unfortunately.
