Hmm I suppose after 8 months of work, the managers would be able to judge if you're worth keeping on at that rate or not. Personally, I'm not convinced the market value for a two-year programmer is $110,000 even in the Bay area. I see those stats for that salary and higher, but I guess I always assumed that was for people with more than two years of experience altogether in programming. (In other words, there are a lot of folks that have worked on single, large systems for longer than you've been programming in total)
