Sure. I feel quite lucky that my particular skillset is richly rewarded.
That doesn't mean there aren't underpaid software engineers. Even when their lowball salary is higher than the average household income.
- pc86 10y ago"Decent living" doesn't mean that you're under or overpaid for your skill set, position and responsibilities. It usually means based on your geographic area as a whole (or objectively whether or not you can sustain yourself). The median household income in the US is a "decent living" in almost the entire country, even some urban centers. Saying that 2x+ is a "decent living" is completely tone deaf.
