Is this a joke?
- saryant 9y agoThere are a lot of literalists in this thread. The average wage is dragged down because the age distribution leans so far to the left. That is, the average wage disguises the wages made by staff/principal engineers, which can be 3-5x the comp numbers commonly tossed around for SV engineers.
- CryoLogic 9y agoIt's probably true. There are more CS majors now than ever in the history of the US.
- khedoros1 9y agoThey aren't low compared to wages in other industries, but I've heard it repeated over and over that they're low compared to the value that software devs create.
