    Yeah it's the same from the other side.

    Employer is profitable, and wants to grow.

    "It's difficult, we can't find developers".

    "How much are you offering"

    "Standard market rate for a senior PHP developer"

    "Have you tried correcting for inflation and changed supply/demand since you determined that rate in 2015?”

    "No, that would be ridiculous"
