The pay isn't exactly the most important thing though, in software development I think you can get away with paying market rates and pitching at incentives.
So think I'd rather work at a company that gave a top of the line machine to develop on, used a good development stack, had a good working environment with plenty of space, had talented coworkers and interesting projects to work on.
I'd certainly take a pay cut for that instead of working in a cramped space on an old workstation at a megacorp pushing out some small part of a massive product.
- JoachimSchipper 17y agoThe interesting thing is that nothing you name is expensive (relative to your salary). Do you have a theory why employers don't take you up on your offer? (I understand there must not be too many, given your "I'd take...")
- robryan 17y agoMore in a general way, being a uni student I've just noticed that the only real workplace I've worked at in development is kind of lacking in quality development systems, comparing it to freelance developing on a decent system at home you realize how much more productive you can be on a decent system.
