Samsara | $35,403-$59,500
Steph's Notes:
A bilingual candidate with a bachelor's degree in computer science and technical expertise in cloud applications, mobile computing, and hardware device troubleshooting should not be making $35,403 to $59,500. I mean, come the fuck on.
In case you can't tell, after the senior positions being compensated appropriately, this kind of exploitation really pisses me off.
