I am already getting downvoted for putting the truth out there. These fools like the idea that their web development job can turn into a 300k a year salaried job but its a pipedream. I am not saying those jobs don't exist. But they usually are anomalies or due to other things like a PhD.
- SecConsult 11y agoI would say even with a PhD you can't make 300k/yr for web or any other development. Top notch developer's salary won't exceed 220k/yr
- solutionyogi 11y agoI am really happy that you make 420k but I guarantee you that there are plenty of developers who make more than 220k. (I make more than that and in my know plenty of folks personally who make that amount) One easy to way more money than this is to work in finance space in NYC.
- nazka 11y agoI guess working at an hedge fund, HFT, or doing some C++/ASM may be the only way to earn such salary.
- ptradethrowaway 11y agoIndeed, I am 24 year old programmer, 2 years out of a top CS program and I am making $280k (100% cash) slinging C++ for a small quant hedge fund.
- wallflower 11y agoSilly question. If you are making that much in NYC, how much are you paying for rent?
- saryant 11y agoYou're being downvoted because it isn't true. I have seen Staff SWE offers for >$300k with my own eyes—and not just in SF/NY.
