Does anyone have some example github accounts for a talented web developer? Interested to see what a github account for someone who earns $500k looks like.
- phamilton 9y agoI think the $500k example is misleading. At that level of seniority, your open source work isn't your primary qualification. What the author is pointing to is the $250k dev who just 2 years back was struggling to land a $90k job.
- iaw 9y agoTwo years out of college programmers are making that much in total comp at Facebook and Google. If there's no equity component, $500K is actually in the ballpark.
- douche 9y agoI would guess that the people making that kind of bank tend to not have GitHub accounts, or at best their fool-around-on-the-weekend projects on it. That's a fuckton of money. I don't know how you make that unless you're in finance, self-employed as a high-end consultant, a CTO/senior architect, or a founder.
- Arcten 9y agoA Github account for someone earning $500k is probably completely empty, or barely touched. When you're getting paid that much to program, typically your attention is less focused on your side projects.
