The astronomically-high salary companies can still hire whoever they want. But programmer salaries in not-so-hot markets are still high, they're just not straight-out-of-college-six-figures high, they're high as in better than any other career field you can find jobs for in that area. No dev anymore says "I could be making more money as a bartender," that is, they wouldn't if they knew how hard to get those top-paying bartending gigs are to get.
I live in Atlanta and I wouldn't dream of doing anything else right now.
- samfisher83 10y agoAccording to glassdoor the average software engineer in Atlanta, GA makes 72,693. That isn't that great. Maye better than a bartender. There might be some bias in what you make make, but on average people aren't making that much.
