I do not understand devs who justify low salaries this way.
Why make 50% of your potential?
- zenlikethat 10y agoExactly. If you are just greedy then programming is not the right field. Much more reliable to make a boatload of cash through other means if that's all you care about.
- UK-AL 10y agoI think you're misunderstanding what he is saying.
- dave2000 10y agoI'm not justifying low salaries; i'm saying that $155,000 is plenty.
- thedufer 10y ago"plenty" by what metric? It seems to be less than market rate (for good experienced developers). What other metric should we use?
- beatpanda 10y agoWhat do I have to sacrifice to earn 100% more money? There's a lot more money in doing harm than doing good, and I will gladly take less money to do good.
- zenlikethat 10y agoIn this case, you maybe don't have to sacrifice much at all. There are plenty of good reasons to go work at a large software organization, e.g. stability, and most startups will work you harder for less tangible benefit.
