Hacker News with Generative AI: Salaries

We won't hire a junior with five years of experience (world.hey.com)
We just opened a search for a new junior programmer at 37signals. It's been years since we last hired a junior, but the real reason the listing is turning heads is because we're open about the yearly salary: $145,849*. That's high enough that programmers with lots of experience are asking whether they could apply, even if they aren't technically "junior".

Ask HN: Why are IT salaries falling? (ycombinator.com)
In my view, IT salaries may be falling due to factors such as increased automation, offshoring (transferring jobs to lower-cost countries), a greater number of skilled workers and economic pressures that reduce demand. In addition, some technological functions are becoming more standardized, lowering the salary of certain positions.

Ask HN: Software Engineer Minimum Wage (ycombinator.com)
I'm a salaried software engineering employed in Washington state. I make a bit under $100k. Today I learned about minimum wage laws in WA state for computing professionals that would give me a raise of $15k - $20k / yr. Question is - how do I bring it up to my employer, and is it as straightforward as it sounds here?
