That's my question precisely. Maybe your expectations are out of line with reality? The programmers I used to manage overseas certainly had this problem. Nearly all of them fresh out of college expected the same salaries as those with 5+ years of real work experience. Graduating from college into the real world is a shocking "reality check" for some students.
- lzm 16y agoThey offered 1200 BRL/month (about 10K USD/year). A junior engineer is supposed to make at least twice as much over here[1]. They work for foreign clients, and I do have experience with the job (through oDesk/Elance/RAC). I've also published a couple of papers and won several programming contests (I got to the ACM ICPC world finals once). I believe I deserve more.

- rmc 16y agoYeah lots of students graduate and think they know everything and are worth a lot. Especially computer science graduates.
