Yeah this thread is a humble brag. 170k in a state with no income tax and housing at $1400, you don't need to be a software engineer to calculate your disposable income after that.
- skookum 10y agoWe constantly have HN comments about how underpaid software engineers are, how companies are colluding to keep salaries down, etc, etc, etc. Then when someone asks if a salary is in the right ballpark for the local market, they're humble-bragging?
- cylinder 10y agoNothing was posted about specific skills, just "ten years in software dev." This could be building WordPress sites or it could be architecting the backend of Netflix. OP's value will be determined by the demand for his services in relation to how many people have experience providing those services, what their current pay is, and whether they're open to a new job.
