I'm at $95k Canadian. These threads make me feel bad.

Location? If you're cracking $200k, you are likely in a major city, silicon valley, etc, and the cost of living is pretty outrageous. Either that, or I am severely under-paid.

Makes me feel bad also, until I think of the living costs in US big cities. I would really like to see an European version of this thread. Probably the bar would be set somewhere around EUR 100k?

  Well, except for London or Switzerland then definitely 100k should be the benchmark.

  The living costs of some Canadian cities are also very high. Both Vancouver and Toronto are currently experiencing a housing bubble that has made housing extremely expensive. At this point a software engineer in Vancouver is certainly priced out of being able to own a detached home. It is unlikely a duplex or townhouse would be affordable either.

  About £500/day is fairly common in London for contractors.

Better than my Canadian teacher salary, 40-50k base, 20 - 30k after taxes. Looks like CS-like jobs are better money than working with kids!

$70k, Aberdeen, Scotland, with 15y experience. Primarily a .NET dev and team lead, but I'm a good generalist. Haven't had a meaningful raise in around 4 years due to market conditions. This is pretty much the ceiling for dev in Aberdeen, and the way things are just now in the oil industry I count myself lucky to have a job!
