I once did an interview with such a company and I asked if they would consider my performance competitive if it was 60-80% of what others do?
I didn't get an offer.
$55,000 --> Taxed to $45,600 --> Average rent (2000x12) brings it to $21,600 --> some food (400/mo) brings it to $16,800 --> Must have a bachelor's degree add some student debt for $1000/mo. You'll have $4,800 left to spend on clothes, gas, transportation, car payments, etc.
Do you have kids? Do you have a medical condition with expensive treatments? Do you have a family member that requires care? There's a lot more to "living wage" than Rent and Food. You say "you'll have 4800 left over to spend on x, y, z, a, b, c" when in reality just one of those extra expenses wipes out anything you have left. (not arguing or attacking you or anyone else, just trying to make a clear example)
You will also notice Noone is complaining about what the full stack development role pays.
Companies made record profits. Then cut pay, or kept it low. Saying we can't afford it the whole time. Most of the companies raising prices made record profits.
The whole $15-19hr is mostly a scam to kick you off of unemployment then pay you 7.25 again once there is no safety net.
I would pay more if people like me made more.
Orbea moving to Boulder then continuing to pay Arkansas money is the problem.
They want the boulder lifestyle but don't want to pay the piper.

Remote Opportunities (after 6 months)
I had the opportunity to met a few top dogs in bike industry, changing managerial roles like gloves and wouldn’t like to work with them for any money. Maybe it’s Californian thing. I talked to a few nice people too so not everyone is an a*shole there. But in general this industry stinks for a mile. Would never recommend any of my kids to get into it. Particularly because working in bike biz does mot mean you will ride more.
There are better paid and more meaningful jobs out there offering more free time. I doubt whether there are many companies like let’s say OneUp Components.
Now the question is why?! If you have manignful job, healthy family that loves you and you love them, well, you are rich. MTB stoke is overblown. It's a hobby that too many pour too many of their child complexes into. MTB will not save almost nobody from anything. My dad won't love me more because I can lay a pancake over Crabapple bits, or send him a pic of me in Ford Raptor with four bikes on the back, in the middle of some epic mountains.
As far as the first part... just figure, you can't breathe on a property anywhere around where some of these HQ's are in Orange County, CA for less than $1m and after last year's boom, probably closer to $2m now in most of them. There's a few shittier parts of OC, but not many at all, and they're still not that cheap. That's about all you need to know in the scheme of that other post.
"I work in the bike industry"
Or so I'm told...
I do see a good trend though. Most newly examinated girls at my work are fantastic. 25-30yr olds. Ambitious, smart, prepared to work hard, take responsibility, get sht done. They listen, they fricking listen! And you see that they listen because they want to use this knowledge to kill rip the sht out of the system. I am optmistic, even though I worry that MIllenials may do loads of damage when they wake up after boomers start dying out for good. I see this already how Millenials munch corporate greenwashing with zero criticism.
You just described my partner... all she has to do is apply a modicum of effort and actually listen and read graphs and everyone is amazed, saving the gov/business millions of dollars in the process. Way easier than post-grad university life and it pays well. The two types she complains about the most are i) boomers that are entitled as f*ck and just don't listen to instructions and assume you can read their mind, and ii) young dumb shits that lick a*sholes and backstab to climb the ranks... managers in the making.
I obviously am too stupid to do the same.
Every company is doing this, in every industry. Corporations posted RECORD profits in 2021, while jacking up prices and giving employees pay cuts. Inflation was 6.8% last year. If your yearly raise was less than 6.8%, you got a PAY CUT.
UNIONIZE.
In 2002 I attended the Bill Woodall mechanic's clinic. One of the instructors was lamenting the dillution of their value by having "enthusiasts" take key roles for nothing. He said he was offered a job as a race mechanic for US Postal for $30K plus travel. He countered @ $35K. Then some other guy entered the picture and said, "I'll do it for free if you pay for my food/travel and I'll even sleep in the van with the bikes." I don't recall anyone's names or if the dollar amounts are accurate.
In 2004 I left my first job out of college at Wells Fargo Financial making $35K (plus lucrative bonuses) to join ABG (Litespeed/Merlin) as inside sales for $22K plus a demo bike! Even though I've moved on and upward (and now make a near Dentist-level salary) I look back on that time as the most fun I've ever had at a job. We launched preownedbikes and did some crazy stuff. Unfortunately it was not sustainable and I left less than a year later. But the relationships I made in the industry during that short time continue to pay dividends and I think I got more than my money's worth.
I get the impression that salaries were abysmal. Read Mike Anderson's story (LA's wrench and PA in the early 00's), he was promised a bike shop by LA but ended up with nothing but financial ruin.
He did have a store in NZ for a bit, but it closed up.
You can't expect cheap products / service and then expect providers to pay well. It just doesn't work like that.
I also doubt that Amazon are out there building trails / clearing fallen trees and the like in the pissing rain / snow.
the "average" bike tested here is always like $4500 and Trek just bought up like every single LBS in the DC-metro area overnight. somebody's making that money. you're lying to yourself.
"bUT uR noT iN iT FoR tHe mOneY"
The problem is that a mechanic will work until they are 30, but they want a place to live, have a family, go on vacation and stuff. But discounts and PASSION does not pay the bills.
Does anyone have an ide how profitable the different brands are? All the money have to get somewhere, and as far as I can read its not in the wallets of the employees.
I now understand why I never heard back from some of these industry places a decade ago when I was making way less money and still probably more than they'd have wanted to pay when I had dreams of working a bike industry job. My job sucks sometimes, but not as much as surviving off PB&J's and never being able to afford rent or a mortgage just to wear tshirts to work and get a few discounts. Sheesh.
American job descriptions are kind of weird

Pro's Closet really thinks 3 weeks vacation is enough? Wow a day off on your birthday that's gonna sway me for sure. They probably provide pizza parties in the office too, since I didn't see anything about remote options. You're asking for a 7+ year experience software engineer and these are the benefits and time off? Sad af.
BE SMART KIDS DON'T DO IT!!!
I despised angry customers working on lower end bikes (literally Walmart bikes) because new parts or replacements were often more expensive than the owners anticipated.
if any shop owners/managers read this, please take care of the wrench folk that actually care, some times its the best part of our day.
Worked 8 years in different worldcup Teams
mostly without any contract

Don't like the pay? Then get a better job. Its that simple. You might have to move, you might have to learn a new skill/trade, but high paying jobs are everywhere for those willing to make it happen.
And you're missing the point if you think an employer needs to pay you more or a "living wage." You're an employee, you're free to leave at any time, and take any job you want. So if you want more $, don't put your handout and demand more, just move on to a higher paying career.
Here's a strategy:
You can take the Orbea job in Boulder for shit pay. Have fun and make friends, but also take night classes in Cyber Security. Get your Cyber certs in 4-6 months and boooom you are now making $100k+w/ 401K & healthcare, for any number of defense contractors in Colorado, Utah, Washington, etc. You can buy a house, invest for retirement, pay MSRP for bikes and best of all....know that you just took control and got yourself where you need to be.
Dont like computers get trained in a trade....be a plumber, hvac, eletrician, handy man......big pay and loads and loads of openings.
While ZipRecruiter is seeing annual salaries as high as $137,500 and as low as $22,000, the majority of Entry Level Cyber Security salaries currently range between $44,500 (25th percentile) to $83,500 (75th percentile) with top earners (90th percentile) making $132,000 annually across the United States. The average pay range for an Entry Level Cyber Security varies greatly (by as much as $39,000), which suggests there may be many opportunities for advancement and increased pay based on skill level, location and years of experience.
Also, DM me if you want to make some money. lmfao
(Also, not hard to see how they're willing to pay that wage. They sell used bikes, yes, but at crazy prices. I just look a look right now, they're selling a used 2019 (i.e. V1) ripmo for $6k, and that's with alu rims. Meanwhile, you can find the same bike with similar spec and carbon rims on PB buy/sell for $1,500 less...)
