Around 400, depending on the yearly bonus. Programmer at one of the big tech companies, 10 years. As best I can tell I got here mostly by doing my best to solve whichever problems were most important for my team. I feel pretty lucky. I never worried much about compensation and have never negotiated or asked for raises nor have I been forced into management. I think there are others who have done exactly what I have done and haven't been rewarded as much.
- emcq 10y agoI don't think it's luck that this happened to you. All companies with HR departments that care about attrition should compensate their employees fairly. If you weren't, I suspect you would have left. Contrast this to a small engineering firm my friend worked for with high turnover. Skills and contributions had little influence in compensation and instead the strongest influence was how much an engineer initially asked for.
